Name: Easy Spanakopita Bites
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup cream cheese (I used low-fat, 230 g tub); 7 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (250 g, drained); 7 ounces baby spinach leaves (250 g English spinach, not chard); 3 eggs, largest size; 1/4 cup selfraising flour (about 62 ml); 1 cup spring onion, finely chopped, white and green parts (about 1 bunch); 1 teaspoon dried oregano (actually, a teaspoon); 1 teaspoon dried thyme (ditto); 2 teaspoons garlic, finely chopped; 1 teaspoon black pepper, coarse; 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated (or less, to taste)

Servings: persons

1 cup cream cheese (I used low-fat, 230 g tub)
7 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (250 g, drained)
7 ounces baby spinach leaves (250 g English spinach, not chard)
3 eggs, largest size
1/4 cup selfraising flour (about 62 ml)
1 cup spring onion, finely chopped, white and green parts (about 1 bunch)
1 teaspoon dried oregano (actually, a teaspoon)
1 teaspoon dried thyme (ditto)
2 teaspoons garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon black pepper, coarse
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated (or less, to taste)

1
Put a pot of water on to boil, and when boiling, chuck in the spinach. Boil for about 3 - 4 minutes, until wilted and soft. Drain well in a colander, and cut up roughtly with a knife and fork.
2
Grease a muffin tin with oil or butter (I use a silicone muffin pan which is really great). Heat oven to 325 deg F/160 degC or 150 deg C for fan/convection ovens.
3
Put all the ingredients in a large bowl, and mix roughly with a wooden spoon. (I did not find that extra salt was necessary, but you may want to add a little).
4
Then mix well together with an electric beater.
5
Fill 12 muffin holes -- you can fill almost to the top, and they won't rise high and cause a mess.
6
Bake about 40 minutes, until firm and starting to colour just a little. Cool in the tin, then remove. Serve sprinkled with parmesan cheese.
7
(Can easily be a nice side dish if served warm).
