All the flavor of pizza with none of the crust. These bake in a muffin tray with cooked quinoa, chopped spinach and marinara, and they hold together well enough to go into a lunchbox cold the next morning. One tray makes twelve, which in this house lasts about two days.
Let them cool in the liners before you lift them out. I have learned that one the hard way.
