I think this would taste better with fresh spinach. My ultra-picky 3-year-old did try it, & ate a litte. So I felt like it was successful. Not the best way I've eaten spinach, but not too bad. Very cheesy!

This is delicious and easy but I definitely use LESS BUTTER ... one to two tablespoons is quite enough!! I also used 1 bag of fresh chopped spinach. I like the idea of the mini muffin tins too!

I loved this. If I make it again, I might half the recipe, use low-fat cheese, and use mini muffin tins!
