This one is from the Raleigh News and Observer. It makes a great side dish. Sometimes I cut it into small slices for hors deurves, Or Durves appetizers. It is like a light quiche. My sister in law Dee wants to try it with Swiss cheese.
- 1 ( 10 -ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, firmly squeezed
to remove moisture. - 1 ( 8-ounce) container low-fat cottage cheese
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 Tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 C shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- 3 Tablespoons flour
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh oregano ( I use a pinch of dried )
- 1/4 teaspoon seafood seasoning mix ( such as Old Bay)
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix thoroughly. Pour mixture into an 8-inch pie pan that has been coated with nonstick vegetable oil spray. Bake at 325 degrees for 55 to 60 minutes or until set.
Serve immediately ( or eventually ).
Makes 6 servings. Sometimes 3. Sometimes 8 bridge players. Depends on who you are serving it to, how hungry they are and if they like spinach. However, some people who claim to not like spinach like this.
