Mediterranean Spinach & Cheese Baked Medallions

Recipe from Instagram

Makes 12 

Ingredients:

- 6 cups fresh spinach, chopped (1 bag of spinach from Aldi)
- 2 cup cottage cheese.
- 1 cup feta, crumbled.
- 4 large eggs.
- 2 slightly generous tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 tbsp extra‑virgin olive oil.
- 1 tsp garlic powder.
- 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano.

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 375 °F.
2. Sauté spinach in olive oil until wilted; cool (I also squeeze to get all the water out.)
3. Mix cottage cheese, feta, eggs, flour, garlic powder, salt, pepper, basil, and oregano.
4. Fold in spinach.
5. Spray muffin tins.  (These do tend to stick.  I might try using paper cups next time.)
6. Spoon mix into tins, ¾ full.
7. Bake 18‑20 min until golden.
8. Cool & serve.
