Directions

Cook spinach according to directions; drain well, pressing out excess liquid.

In saucepan, cook onion and garlic in 3 tablespoons butter or margarine until tender.

Stir in flour, tarragon and pepper. Add milk all at once.

Cook and stir until mixture is thickened. Stir half of mixture into eggs; return egg mixture into remaining sauce.

Stir in cheeses, spinach and sun-dried tomatoes; set aside.

Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃).

Coat 2 12-cups muffin tins with cooking spray or brush with butter.

Unroll phyllo dough; cover with dampened towel.

Put one phyllo sheet on a flat working surface, brush with butter or spay with cooking spray.

Place another layer of phyllo sheet on top of the first one, cut into 12 3-inch squares.

Repeat the same steps and make another 12 3-inch squares.

Arrange the square into each muffin cup, fill up the cup about ⅔ high.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the phyllo sheets turn out golden-brown, the filling is puffed, and top is browned.

Cool on a wire rack in the tins for 5 to 10 minutes.

Make about 24 phyllo muffins.

Carefully remove muffins onto wire rack.

Serve warm or let cool completely.
