Serve this with a salad and some crusty bread for a great meatless meal. This is one of my Mom's recipes - it looks like she may have gotten it from the Chicago Tribune. Ingredients:
2 cups saltine crumbs |
1/2 cup butter, melted |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced |
2 1/2 cups chopped spinach |
3 eggs |
1 1/2 cups milk |
1 1/4 cups shredded american cheese |
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 325 degrees. Combine cracker crumbs and 1 stick melted butter in a small bowl. Transfer to a greased 9-inch pie dish; press evenly into bottom and sides of dish. Set aside.
2. Heat remaining 1 T of butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add spinach; cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Spread mixture over crumb crust. Set aside.
3. Beat together eggs and milk in a medium bowl. Mix in cheese and salt. Pour mixture into crumb crust. Bake until pie is set and golden brown, about 50 minutes.
