- Crumble the feta cheese and evenly sprinkle it over the tops of the pies.
8. Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pies are set and lightly golden on top.
9. Cool and Serve:
- Remove the muffin pan from the oven and let the pies cool in the pan for about 5 minutes.
