Notes
Any liquid dairy works well in this recipe so you can choose to use either cream, low fat milk or even non-dairy milk.
Substitute the feta for any hard or semi-hard cheese you like.
Egg zucchini muffins keep very well in the refrigerator, needing only a quick reheat in the microwave to be enjoyed the next day. They also freeze well.
