MINI SPINACH & COTTAGE CHEESE FRITTATAS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Lightly grease a 6-hole muffin tin and line with squares of baking parchment to act as muffin cases (greasing the tin first will help to hold the parchment in place).
• Put the spinach in a colander in the sink and pour over a kettle of boiling water, then leave to drain. When cool enough to handle, squeeze as much liquid as you can from the spinach, then roughly chop.
• Beat the eggs and season well. Marble through the spinach, cottage cheese, spring onions, dill and a generous grating of nutmeg. Divide the mixture between the muffin cases. Bake for 18-20 mins or until just set. Leave to cool a little before removing from the tin. These will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

MINI SPINACH AND COTTAGE CHEESE PIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Heat oil in heavy pot over medium high heat.
• Saute onion and garlic until onion is starting to turn yellow, not quite brown.
• Add spinach in batches and saute until wilted.
• In bowl, beat cottage cheese, eggs, oregano, salt and pepper if using, together.
• Add spinach mixture and mix thoroughly.
• Spoon batter into muffin tin, fill 3/4 full - I use paper cupcake liners. This makes about 16 to 18 muffins. I just use my dozen cupcake pan, and then put the leftover mix into small ramekin cups.
• Variation: grease the muffin tin, then cut flour tortillas (use a flattened out cupcake liner as a template) into rounds, carefully push the tortillas into greased muffin cups, fold over excess tortilla from the side. Fill 3/4 full with mixture.
• Top each muffin with heaping teaspoon of crumbled feta.
• Bake until top starts to brown, about 30 minutes (without tortilla) or increase time to about 35 to 40 minutes with tortilla.
