1

Heat oven to 400°F. In 2-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Cook onion in butter 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Add flour; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in whipping cream, salt and pepper. Cook 30 seconds or until thickened. Remove from heat; stir in spinach, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese and the Monterey Jack cheese until blended.
2

Remove pie crusts from pouches; unroll on work surface. With 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter, cut 12 rounds from each crust; discard scraps. Fit rounds into 24 ungreased miniature muffin cups, pressing in gently. Divide spinach mixture evenly among muffin cups.
3

Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Sprinkle evenly with remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pans. Serve warm.

Expert Tips
