Preheat the oven to 374℉/ 190°C. Line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper cases.
In a medium bowl combine the yogurt and the baking soda.
Whisk the eggs shortly and add in the yogurt which by this time will have started bubbling. Keep whisking and add also the melted butter.
Mix together the flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl and gradually add them to the wet mixture, mixing slowly and carefully with a rubber spatula until the batter becomes smooth.
Fold in the ricotta, spinach leaves and parmigiano until incorporated.
Spoon the batter into the muffin cases filling them around ⅔ full. Sprinkle with sesame on top.
Bake for about 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the muffins turn golden brown. Cool them on a rack for half an hour before serving.
Notes
Keep the muffins in the fridge for up to 3 days. Preheat them lightly before serving or place them for 30 minutes at room temperature.
You can also freeze these muffins for up to 2 months in airtight containers or freezer bags.
Instead of cottage cheese you can use ricotta or any white crumbly cheese.
