Leafy Green Recipe #002

Savory Spinach Cheese Muffins
by Ashley Lukens

I've told you before why I love me some leafy greens.

Here is a recipe that is all sorts of delicious!

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (a mixture of white, wheat, or soy flour
can be used instead)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1 egg
1 cup whole milk (2% works fine)
1/2 - 1 cup fresh steamed chopped spinach - thawed, drained and squeezed dry
1 cup shredded Cheddar or Swiss cheese
4 garlic cloves, chopped finely
1 small onion, chopped finely

Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 12 cup
muffin cups. Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt
together in a mixing bowl. Stir the melted butter, egg, milk, spinach,
and Cheddar cheese together in a large mixing bowl until evenly
blended. Slowly stir in the flour mixture to form a batter. Spoon
about 2 tablespoons into each muffin cup. Bake in preheated oven until
a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean,
about 35 minutes. Serve warm with a buttery spread. To store: place in
a freezer tight ziplock, defrost for 40-45 seconds, and serve with
butter.
