Mini Spini Souffle

.

...and the full-sized version (just keep scrolling past the mini version), in case you end up in love!

I usually make this in the crock-pot, but have done it in the oven when the crock-pots were otherwise occupied. I think at 300F it took about an hour, and at 350F it was ready in about 40 minutes. (It's oven-done when it's hot and bubbly, and the top is just beginning to brown. The top doesn't brown much in the slow cooker.)

Now, today, I made approximately one third of this recipe in my Little Dipper Crock Pot. It holds only two cups. So cute! I just love miniature food! 

This is how I did it:
