Have you ever bought a gigantic bag of fresh baby spinach leaves, only to realize that you have only made it half way through and must plow through the rest of it stat or else it will go bad? This happened to me last week. And hence the creation of these tasty Cheesy Spinach Bites. These are great as a side dish to a meal, or even as a main dish for lunch. We sometimes reheat and eat them for breakfast with some fresh fruit.
Ingredients
1 medium onion
2 clove garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 large egg
1 cup cottage cheese
1 ounce mozzarella cheese
1 ounce Parmesan cheese, grated
2 cup spinach
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Method- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Dice onion and mince garlic. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray, then set aside.
- Heat oil in a sauté pan over medium heat and cook the onions and garlic until cooked through and caramelized – about 10 minutes.
- Whisk eggs together in a bowl.
- Add eggs, cottage cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, spinach, salt, pepper, and onion/garlic mixture to a food processor. Pulse to combine.
- Pour egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the filling is set and eggs are golden on top.
- Serve with orange wedges on the side.
