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
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.
