- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.

- Add the spinach, cheese and egg to the mushrooms and stir together to combine (it's nice if there are pockets of cheese in the mixture).
- Using a 1/4 cup dry measuring cup as a mold, tightly pack some of the mixture into the cup to make a cake. Tap the cake out of the cup on to the prepared pan. Repeat with the remaining mixture to make 8 cakes. Bake until the cheese is golden, about 12 minutes. Serve hot with whole-grain mustard.

PARMESAN SPINACH CAKES
My version of a nice cheese little spinach cake from EatingWell. The sit time is important or they will not hold together. These are moist, light and tender. I used a knife and spoon to remove from tin and had no problems. **5 minute sit time not included in cook time**
