I love these Spanish omelette muffins but no matter what I do they always stick to the pan even though I spray it with oil and have used muffin cases. Any suggestions please.

The only thing I can think of is your pan, I have a nonstick cupcake pan which is what I used, try brishing your pan with plenty of olive oil next time, cheers
