The egg mixture was too much for the 7 slot circular silicone mold. The spinach was twice as much as needed. Prep time for me was more like an hour than 15 minutes. I suppose with a lot of practice I could get that time down some. I swapped the muenster cheese for laughing cow and dunked chunks in each mold. I’m waiting for them to finish but I don’t know if this is the right recipe for me. ♀️
Great recipe, thanks! I use this egg mold with built-in handles and trivet, much easier and safer!
These were good but not the texture or flavor I was looking for. I think we prefer the ones with cottage cheese for the texture factor, these were just a little rubbery for our liking. I did switch out the spinach for chopped ham to make the littles happy.
Very easy and tasty!
