DD, thanks for posting this recipe.  I was looking for something quick and easy to make for brunch today and after reading your post I decided to make these.  I didn't have any spinach so substituted kale (it was perfect as I had a bunch that really needed to be used) and I used goats cheese instead of the feta.  Delicious!

I cooked them in silicon cupcake moulds and they didn't stick at all.

They look very nice VieveMS. I am glad that you enjoyed them. It is an easy recipe and very tasty.  They are a nice size to have one or two with a salad for lunch.

No I have not tried cooking them in the varoma. I can't see why it wouldn't work, the only issue would be that they wouldn't brown.
