Garlic & Herb Pizza Puffs

 

Serves: 18 puffs

Ingredients

• ¾ cup flour (all-purpose or whole wheat pastry)
• ¾ teaspoon baking powder
• ¾ cup milk
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 tablespoon Gourmet Garden Garlic (paste or chunky)
• 1 tablespoon Gourmet Garden Italian Herbs
• ½ cup chopped fresh spinach
• ¼ cup fresh Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup pizza or pasta sauce, for dipping
• 1 tablespoon Gourmet Garden Basil, for pizza sauce
• Cooking spray

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375F degrees. Spray 18 cups in mini-muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside. (I have 2 12-cup mini muffin tins, so just fill the 6 empty cups with water before baking).
2. In a large bowl, whisk flour and baking powder. Add milk and egg, whisking until combined.
3. Fold in mozzarella cheese, garlic, herbs and spinach, gently mixing until combined. Let sit for 10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile combine sauce and basil to make the dipping sauce. Adjust amounts as desired.
5. Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin tin(s). Sprinkle tops with Parmesan cheese.
6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until puffed and golden. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes. Remove from pan and serve with sauce for dipping.
