1 cup Ricotta cheese
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2/3 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 egg
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
24 Hormel pepperoni slices (I like turkey pepperoni)

Preheat oven to 375°F.

In a small bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Place a pepperoni slice in each of 24 greased miniature muffin cups. Fill muffin cups three-fourths full with cheese mixture.

Bake at 375°F for 20 to 25 minutes or until completely set. Carefully run a knife around edges of muffin cups to loosen. Serve warm.

Makes 24 appetizers.
