Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Toss the tomatoes, garlic and ½ tbsp oil in a baking dish and season well. Bake for 35-40 mins until the tomatoes have softened and released enough juice to become jammy, then stir through the basil. Squeeze the cooked garlic cloves from their skins; set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, lightly grease a baking dish (roughly 30 x 18cm) with the remaining oil. Whisk the eggs, cottage cheese, spinach and herbs together in a bowl. Season, then pour into the prepared dish and bake for 12-15 mins alongside the tomatoes. Leave the herby egg to cool before slicing into 8 pieces.
- Mash the garlic with the butter until well combined. Lightly toast the muffins and spread each cut side with a little garlic butter.
- Divide the herby egg between the bottoms of each muffin, then spoon over a quarter of the tomatoes before sandwiching with the muffin top. Wrap each muffin in a layer of foil if planning to warm in the oven, or baking paper if planning to microwave.
- Store the wrapped sandwiches in the fridge for up to 4 days. Microwave in baking paper for 1-2 mins on high until piping hot. Alternatively, reheat in the oven at gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C, still wrapped in foil, for 15-20 mins until piping hot throughout.
