Preheat the oven to 375°F.


Prepare 2 (12-cup) mini muffin pans with spray oil.


Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil.


Add pasta and cook until al dente, 8 to 11 minutes, depending on the type.


Drain and coarsely chop.


Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.


Add greens and cook, stirring often, until wilted and bright green, 3 to 4 minutes.


Transfer to a cutting board and finely chop.


In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, Pecorino Romano and nutmeg.


Stir in chopped pasta and chopped greens until evenly blended.


Fill the muffin cups. Bake about 25 minutes or until eggs are set and golden brown.


Loosen poppers from the pan with a spatula and serve immediately.


Refrigerate any leftover poppers in an airtight container and reheat in a 325F oven until warmed through, about 10 minutes.
