This surpassed my expectations. I didn't think a spinach dish could be this good! We don't have 10 ounce packs of frozen spinach but I used a 250 gram (or 8.8 ounce) pack with great results. To reduce the fat I removed 3 of the egg yolks from the recipe, using 3 whites and 3 whole eggs. I don't feel this hurt the flavour of the recipe at all. Omitted the mustard as I didn't have any. Also, silly me forgot to grease the baking dish so it did stick a bit around the edges, so don't forget this step like I did! Great recipe which everyone loved, thanks Bergy. -

I made this for company last night and everyone loved this dish. Thank you for sharing. -
Great receipe. I kicked it up by adding several dashed of tobasco sauce, red pepper flakes; 2 cloves of thinly sliced garlic sauteed in olive oil & butter; 1/4 tsp. of Chinese five spice powder; freshly grated parmesan cheese. You can substitute nutmeg or mace for the Chinese 5 spice powder. -
This was excellent. The only thing I did different was to use canned spinach well drained. great recipe. Thanks

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
Here are a few of my photos
