Spinach Mushroom Chorizo Bites

I found this recipe and tried a few Friday's ago (for the regular neighbor Friday appetizer happy hour).  We all agreed it was good but needed a bit more - think bacon; sausage; spicy things.  I made it again tonight with some chorizo pieces.  It's better but I still think it could use a kick - maybe red pepper flakes?  Anyway, the recipe is a great base recipe for an appetizer and you can definitely spin it to be your own.

Ingredients: 
¾ all-purpose flour
¾ tsp baking powder
¾ tsp kosher or sea salt
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried parsley
1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
2 links of chorizo sausage, chopped into small pieces and cooked through
Pinch of salt
1 handful baby spinach, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 egg, lightly beaten
¾ cup milk
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Marinara sauce for dipping

Directions: 
Preheat oven to 375 F. Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin and set aside.
Break chorizo into bite sized pieces and saute in a medium size skillet.  When they are done, set aside on a plate covered with paper towels.  Reserve any oil left.  
Add mushrooms to the skillet and a pinch of salt and saute until mushrooms begin to release liquid, 2-3 minutes. Add spinach and garlic and saute for another 2 minutes, until spinach is wilted and garlic is fragrant. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, oregano, and parsley. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk egg, milk and cheese then add to the flour mixture and stir gently just to combine. Stir in mushroom/spinach mixture then the chorizo. Let stand for 10 minutes.
Spray mini muffin tin with cooking spray.  
Gently stir the batter. Divide evenly between the cups of the muffin tin. Bake for 20-22 minutes, until set and browned on top.
Serve warm with warm marinara.

Enjoy!!
