Spinach Poppers

These sound weird but they are delicious and so nutritious.  You must try them! 

Uncle Ben's 90 second heat-in-microwave wild rice packet
5-10 oz spinach
2 eggs
8 oz shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1 tsp dried Italian herbs

Heat oven to 350. Put parchment paper on a cookie sheet.  In skillet, saute 5-10 ounces spinach over 1 T olive oil over medium heat, add salt and pepper to taste.  (Could also add chopped garlic, garlic powder, or chopped onion, if you were feeling fancy.) While spinach is cooking down, add 2 eggs to a bowl and beat.  Add 8 oz of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (Kraft is fine), 1 tsp dried Italian herbs.  Heat rice package in microwave and add that and the spinach to the egg/cheese mixture. Stir until mixed. 
Using a serving type spoon, spoon up a mound of the mixture and place on cookie sheet.  Bake for 20-25 minutes.  Serve with pizza sauce.
