Meaty Spinach Pastries


These were better than I could have dreamed of!

INGREDIENTS
- box frozen spinach
- roll of croissants
- 1/2 lb bacon (or ham or corned beef, we made 3 different pastries! :))))
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- Cup Mushrooms (we used baby bellas), chopped
- 3/4 cup whipped cream cheese
- pepper to taste


DIRECTIONS
- Cook spinach according to box directions
- Cook Bacon
- Mix onion, garlic, and mushrooms, and sautee with bacon grease(or whatever you want to use)mix with spinach.
- Coarse chop bacon and mix with spinach
- Butter or spray your muffin pan
- Use 1/2 to 3/4 of a croissant for each muffin section, cover the bottom and sides (you may have to press them down or roll them individually to get them to cover all of the muffin.
- Scoop in spinach/bacon mixture
- cover slightly with croissant dough
- bake 12-17 mins on 350

NOTE: Don't try to be perfect with the croissant dough, do what works for you! We liked the ones with out quite so much dough over the ones that we used a whole croissant on.
