-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound Cut `n Clean Greens Mustard Greens -- (1 bag)
2 eggs
2 tablespoons dried minced onion
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar -- (2 ounces) or extra sharp Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup bottled creamy Blue cheese salad dressing -- (low-fat version works fine)
2 tablespoons butter -- melted
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 package corn muffin mix -- (8.5-ounce) (such as Jiffy brand)
1/3 cup honey mustard -- purchased or homemade (optional; see recipe below)
Bring 6 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt to a boil in a large pot. Add
greens, stir to submerge, and boil for 10 minutes, stirring once or twice
to ensure even cooking. Drain in colander, pressing on greens with the
back of a spoon to remove excess water. When cool enough to handle, place
greens on cutting board,
mass them together and chop more finely.
While greens are cooking and cooling, mix eggs, onion, cheese, salad
dressing, butter and garlic powder in a large bowl. Stir in cooked,
chopped greens and dry
muffin mix. Cover and refrigerate batter for at least 1 hour, so batter
will firm up and is easier to handle.
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mist cookie sheets with non-stick baking spray.
With a spoon, drop tablespoonfuls of batter onto the prepared sheet, as
you would drop cookie batter. The puffs will not spread so you may place
them as close as 1 inch apart.
Bake puffs for 13-15 minutes. Remove sheet from oven and, using a spatula,
place puffs on a serving platter to serve immediately, or place them on a
cooling
rack.
They are good whether straight from the oven, re-heated and served
slightly warm, or served at room temperature. Accompany with a honey
mustard dip if you
wish, although they are excellent plain.
Makes 36 puffs.
Homemade Honey Mustard: Place about 5 tablespoons Grey Poupon Dijon
mustard in a small bowl; stir in 2 tablespoons honey. You may increase or
decrease amount of honey to suit personal preference.
The batter must rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up,
so start this recipe with enough time to spare. The Blue cheese in the
salad dressing adds a subtle hint rather than a wallop. Both the blue
cheese and mustard greens add subtle flavors in this appetizer recipe.
ChupaNote: check the contents of your corn muffin mix. Many of them have
lard as an ingredient.
