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.

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.

MINI SPINACH AND CHEESE PIZZAS
Bocconcini are bite-size morsels of fresh mozzarella. They are usually packed in water or whey for freshness. For lower-fat content, choose part-skim ricotta, it has comparable creaminess to the whole-fat but has fewer calories and less fat!! Also, use whole-wheat pitas -- which are fiber-rich and just as tasty.
