The One Spinach Appetizer Puff

Seamor's Note:

One of each ingredient (almost) makes this recipe easy to make. Perfect for any party or even to make a regular dinner a bit more special. These can be made ahead and kept in the freezer. When ready to serve, just pop in an oven or toaster oven for 5-10 minutes until heated through. (personally, I think these taste better when frozen and then reheated.)

• Total Time: 40 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 30

• 1 egg
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup grated asiago cheese
• 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained very well
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions:

1. Break egg into a bowl and beat with a whisk for 30 seconds.
2. Add remaining ingredients and combine with a wooden spoon until well mixed.
3. Let batter sit while greasing a mini-muffin pan and preheating oven to 375 degrees.
4. Spoon batter into the mini-muffin pan to 3/4 full.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
6. TIP: There will be leftover batter after filling the 24 - mini muffin pan. If you don't have a second pan, and you don't want to wait for the first batch to finish, use small foil tart cups for the last few, they may take a bit longer to cook. However, since these will disappear quickly, and they can be frozen, it is much easier to just double the recipe and just make 2 1/2 - 3 pans.

Very tasty little spinach appetizers! I couldnt find grated asiago cheese so I used a parmesan blend that had the asiago in it. Added some fresh ground black pepper and a touch of lemon pepper. Froze the leftovers in a freezer bag and will reheat them in the oven when I make a big breakfast for the family. Made and reviewed for the Let's P-A-R-T-Y! December Cooking Event

These were really good! I took your advice and froze the leftovers and tried them reheated in the toaster oven. I am glad I did! Yesterday I hadn't liked these as well. The flavor was good, but they seemed a little rubbery. But reheating them in the toaster over left them delicious and crisp. Thanks for posting! ~Sue

I made these for my DBF's 50th B-day last month. They were very quick and easy to do. They were well received by all our friends. Will probably make again!
