Default Salsa Bites - Induction friendly!

Hi all,

I found recipe on the pamphlet that came with my Pampered Chef mini-muffin pan. Any mini-muffin pan will do...you could probably even use those little aluminum muffin cups and put them on a baking sheet.

As for the recipe, as far as I know, all of the ingredients are Induction friendly. I looked for info on the salsa in DANDR but couldn't find any. If I'm wrong on this, please let me know. I've pulled my numbers for the salsa from a bottle I have in the fridge (Kroger brand traditional medium, no added sugar). All other dietary stats came from CalorieKing.

SALSA BITES
  • 1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 c. thick and chunky salsa
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 c. (2 oz.) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped ripe pitted black olives
  • 1 Tbsp. chopped green onion
  • 1 clove garlic, pressed
  • 1/4 c. sour cream
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
Preheat oven to 350F. Whisk cream cheese in a bowl until smooth. Whisk in salsa and eggs until well blended. Stir in cheese, olives, green onion and garlic. Generously spray mini-muffin pan or cups with vegetable spray. Fill muffin cups with approx. 2 Tbsp. of mixture (you're going to have to eyeball it...the instructions say to use the Pampered Chef Medium Scoop and I have no idea what measurement that is). Bake 15-18 minutes or until center is set. Let cool in pan 5 minutes. Remove and cool on wire rack. Spread tops with a small amount of sour cream and top with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.

I haven't actually tried these yet, so you'll have to let me know if they're any good.
