I submitted this recipe to Southern Living Magazine and they printed it. It's great for a holiday side dish. Ingredients:
3 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed |
12 ounces muenster cheese, slices |
1 small onion, finely chopped |
1 cup low fat cottage cheese (or regular) |
3 large eggs, lightly beaten |
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
pimiento strips or chopped tomato (i never do but looks nice, opt) |
Directions:
1. Drain spinach well, pressing between layers of paper towels (or whatever) and set aside.
2. Cut 2-3 cheese slices into small triangles, and reserve for garnish.
3. Cover bottom and sides of a lightly greased 9 or10-inch pieplate with remaining Muenster slices, overlapping cheese as needed.
4. Combine spinach, onion and next 5 ingredients.
5. Spoon into cheese-lined pieplate.
6. Bake 350 for 45 minutes or until set.
7. Cool 10 minutes before serving.
8. Garnish with reserved cheese triangles and pimiento strips, if desired.
