Spinach cheese cakes are great because they’re packed with healthy veggies and protein, they’re portioned in little cakes, and you can make a bunch and reheat them later. They make good side dishes with lunch and dinner and can be packed in a lunch box as well. They also only take a few ingredients!
Ingredients
12 cups of adult spinach (remove the tough stems)
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
2 eggs
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
- Spray your muffin pan with cooking spray.
- Put the spinach and garlic in your food processor and pulse until chopped finely. It will take a few batches.
- In a bowl, mix the spinach with the cottage cheese, Parmesan, eggs, garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
- Stir until everything is well combined.
- Fill the muffin cups 3/4 of the way.
