Recipe from Eating Well. States, "If you like spinach-cheese pie, try these simple but elegant-looking little spinach cakes." I can't wait to try them!

Yield 8 cakes, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 ounces fresh spinach
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese or 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese
1/2 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish (or parmesan cheese substitute, like asiago)
2 large eggs, beaten
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Pulse spinach in three batches in a food processor until finely chopped.
  • Transfer to a medium bowl. Add ricotta (or cottage cheese), Parmesan, eggs, garlic, salt and pepper; stir to combine.
  • Coat 8 cups of the muffin pan with cooking spray. Divide the spinach mixture among the 8 cups (they will be very full).
  • Bake the spinach cakes until set, about 20 minutes.
  • Let stand in the pan for 5 minutes. Loosen the edges with a knife and turn out onto a clean cutting board or large plate.
  • Serve warm, sprinkled with more Parmesan, if desired.

These cakes were a little too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used a little too much Parmesan cheese.

I added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the batter and they gave the cakes a nice tangy flavor.

I used almond flour instead of all-purpose flour and the cakes still turned out great.
