Spinach Pie

Here is a quiche type recipe that I make for
breakfast. I will make it and then eat it for several
days--with a glass of OJ and a slice of toast, it is a
great way to start my day...

--Cheryl

Ingredients:

1 pkg frozen chopped spinach (thaw & squeeze out as
much water as you can)
1/2 c cottage cheese (I use chive cottage cheese)
2 tbsp minced onion
1/4 flour
4-6 eggs
shredded/grated cheese (cheddar, jack, parmesan)
chopped garlic
assorted veggies
salt & pepper to taste

Procedure:

Mix eggs with flour until well blended. Add all other
ingredients. Mix well. Pour into a pie plate that has
been sprayed with Pam, and bake at 350 for 35-40
minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean.

When I make this, I put whatever veggies I want in
it--leftover or fresh, it really doesn't matter. I've
even put leftover chicken or turkey in it. Usually, I
add a can of sliced mushrooms, some broccoli, roasted
red peppers or fresh red or green peppers. Sometimes
in place of the minced onions I'll use scallions.  In
place of the shredded cheese I've used crumbled feta
cheese.

I love this recipe. You can put whatever you want into
it. I've used dried minced onion and garlic poweder in
place of fresh stuff.  It is a great way to get some
veggies in the morning, plus some protein, which fills
you up longer.

Enjoy!
