Recipe Introduction
Level 1 ~ Pro/Fat & Veggies ~ Finally, I've found a recipe for a spinach side dish that I like. The others I've tried are too "eggy" for me, this is different.
List of Ingredients
Serving Size : 6
10 ounces frozen chopped spinach -- thawed and drained
4 ounces canned mushroom slices -- drained and chopped
4 each large eggs
4 tablespoons half and half (we would substitute cream & water)
4 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup Ragu Tomato & Basil Light Pasta Sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Recipe
Preheat oven to 350f. Spray an 8x8 baking pan with cooking spray. Beat eggs with a fork then stir in all the spices, the half and half and the parmesan cheese. Mix well then stir in the spinach and mushrooms. Spoon into the prepared pan and tap to settle into an even layer.
Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes then spread the pasta sauce on top and sprinkle on the cheese. Bake an additional 15 minutes.
Remove from oven and let sit 15 minutes before cutting.
For a main dish, add a pound of cooked (crumbled) Italian or breakfast sausage.
NOTES : This is a thicker version of the spinach pizza crust with some other additions.

* Deb’s notes ~ I use cream instead of the half & half. I used freshly grated Romano cheese, but I’m sure the dry, grated Parmesan would be fine. I also used shredded cheddar as that’s what I had on hand. I also just used Ragu Pizza Sauce as that’s what I had in the cupboard.
