Directions
Mini Spinach and Cottage Cheese Pies, I morphed Spinach Ricotta Pie Recipe #51557 to make individual size pies for my kids to take to school lunches I prefer them without the tortilla crust, but the kids and my husband like the crust I accidentally forgot to grease the ramekins, but they did not stick, so now I do not grease my ramekins , Wonderful portable quiches! My muffin tin’s pretty deep so this recipe made 12 mini pies for me They’re very moist and I thought delicious-my husband said it tasted too healthy for him (If I added turkey sausage and used the tortillas he’d probably love them ) Instead of oregano used one tablespoon chopped fresh dill and one teaspoon ground nutmeg I like that they didn’t stick to the pan but may try 1-2 more eggs (or whites) to get a firmer consistency Squeezing the fluid out of the spinach after sauteeing would help too Will make again!
