This was one of the more tasty and filling dishes we've had in a while. Kind of quiche-like, but different.
It went together in a pinch, and was excellent paired with some sizzled ham!
Yum-o!

Soooo yummy looking! Will definitely put this on my menu for next week! :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks Awesome! I have a ton of spinach from our garden. Looks like were having Spinach Squares.
ReplyDeleteThat looks so yummy! I'm definitely trying this one!
ReplyDeleteLOVE spinach and eggs. Great combination!
ReplyDeleteThis looks soooo yummy!!! :) I love spinach and cheese... :)
ReplyDeleteMMmmm this looks so good. My mouth is watering!
ReplyDeleteOh, I"ve got to try this! It sounds really good.
ReplyDeleteServed this with turkey breakfast sausage and my family liked it quite a bit. Very good!
ReplyDeleteI made this tonight and was wondering a few things...
ReplyDelete1. Did you use fresh spinach?
2. If so, did you chop it up?
3. We seemed to have more spinach than liquid...and we followed the recipe to a 'T'. Any ideas?
It still tasted yummy...just curious if we should double the ingredients (but the spinach) next time or use frozen spinach or ???
Thanks!!!!
We had the same problem as Kim mentioned, the liquid wasn't enough to cover the spinach and cheese. We used fresh spinach also. It is still cooking, so I don't know how it turned out, but had to add another egg and some more milk to cover the 4 oz of spinach we used. Please do let me know how to remedy this, it looks delicious!
ReplyDelete@Sarah & Kim --
ReplyDeleteInteresting. We've made this numerous times and have not had any issues. Typically we use "fresh spinach" that is truly fresh, or has been frozen.
8 oz of spinach is about 1 C spinach - 4 oz is about 1/2 C.... how many cups did you add?
It's been about 2 months since I made this, but we followed the recipe...We used about a cup of fresh spinach. The flavor was still really good and we enjoyed the dish - just didn't turn out the way that it looked in your picture. :)
ReplyDeleteI made this gluten free and it turned out more like a bread. Is that the way it's supposed to be?
ReplyDeleteWith all the flour (or GF flour), yes, it will be more bread/cake like. It's like a soft-biscuit stuffed with cheese & spinach.
