"Spinach and cheese make a great pair. This recipe reminds me of spanakopita, only without the greasy phyllo dough. If you prefer, you can use a different chopped vegetable."

This was delicious! I topped with shredded Swiss Cheese (couldn't find Muenster) and thinly sliced tomatoes on the top during the last 10 minutes. It tasted wonderful! What a nice brunch dish! The tomatoes on the top made it pretty

I was looking for a spinach pie my mom used to make and this came close. It could have been a bit creamier filling and I think she must have added more spices. Next time I'll add some half and half and a bit of nutmeg and hot sauce. It is a pretty, tasty dish that reheats well in the microwave.
