Spinach Pie Cup-Cakes

This yummy and unique dish, is a cross between Spanakopita (Greek spinach pie) and an Italian spinach pinwheel that you can buy in many Pizzerias. I like to make these as an appetizer or side dish. The next time you’re invited to a party or holiday dinner, whip these up and your host will most definitely invite you back!

  • spinach_cakes_baltimore_marylandTake one wonton wrapper and place in bottom of each muffin tin circle. Add spinach mixture to each.
  • Repeat with another wrapper and mixture. Usually you can get 2 tiers per cup.
  • Bake at 300° for approximately 15 minutes. The ends of the wrappers will burn quickly, so keep an eye on the tray frequently. Or, you can also cover with aluminum foil for the 1st 10 minutes and then remove foil for last 5 minutes. Oven temperatures may vary so the timing may be different.
