Spinach and feta cupcake with cottage cheese frosting
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh, chopped spinach
- 1 cup cubed feta
- 2 eggs, x-large
- 1 carton cottage cheese, smooth (flavored or not)
- salt and pepper
- olives, optional
Cooking Instructions
Preheat oven to 180 oC. Grease a 6 jumbo pan (or 12 smaller) muffin pan. Steam the spinach for 2 minutes on stove or in microwave. Mix the spinach and feta in a bowl. Beat the eggs and milk with a fork or hand whisk and add to the spinach mixture. Add the seasonings. Mix very well, so that the feta breaks up into smaller pieces.
Spoon into the muffin pan and bake for 22 – 30 minutes or till center is set. Let cool a bit and remove carefully.
Topping:
Smooth cottage cheese (flavored or not)
Spoon into a piping bag and pipe onto each cupcake.
(If you don’t have a piping bag – use a plastic sandwich bag, fill with the cottage cheese, cut off a small corner at the bottom of the bag and pipe it on the cupcake.)
