Crustless Spinach Quiche Squares Ingredients: • 1 tbs oil • 12 cups fresh spinach (8 oz.) • 1 med. onion, chopped • 1 tsp ground Italian season- ings • ½ teaspoon salt • 6 eggs • 1 cup 2% milk • 1 cup grated or shredded Sharp cheddar cheese Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9 x 13 pan or 8 x 8 square pan if thicker squares desired. Sauté onion and spinach in pan with oil and salt until spinach shrinks to half or less its original size. Add Italian Seasoning and stir (if you can’t get ground, okay to use dried). Set spinach mixture aside to cool. In separate bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Then add spinach to eggs and mix together. Pour into cooking pan, sprinkle top with grated or shredded cheese and bake in oven for 45 minutes until top is brown (If using 8 x 8 pan, may need to let center cook longer). Let cool slightly, 10-15 minutes. Then cut into squares and serve! Perfect for breakfast, brunch, lunch or even dinner! You can vary this recipe by adding sautéed chopped and seeded tomatoes or your other favorite veggies. Feel free to change out the cheese for one with an even more unique flavor, like Gruyere, Jalapeno Cheddar or Dill Havarti. 49
