Add to the flour, the salt and espelette chilli (this is your pepper substitute)

In a bowl, whisk your eggs with the oil and the milk.

Add the flour, salt, chilli mix, the cheese, the feta, the spinach and the green onions, mix delicately with a spatula.

Once homogenous, pour the batter into the moulds (210g for individual moulds), for a traditionnal mould, fill up to 3/4. Sprinkle the pumpkin and sunflower seeds on top.
Baking

It is important to leave the moulds 10 minutes to rest at room temperature before placing in the oven to let the baking powder activate.

If possible, put the moulds straight onto the oven rack, it will make the baking easier as there will be no extra layer from a baking tray.

Count 20/25 minutes of baking for the individual moulds, 35/40 minutes for the traditionnal one.

Allow to cool in the mould once out of the oven.
Carrot salad

Prepare your dressing, strain the raisins.

Mix the grated carrots with the raisins, add the dressing and season to taste.
