I sampled this at a holiday get together. It was well received by all but the youngest diners. It definitely adds a new dimension (& calories) to spinach and was attractive on the buffet table. The mixture was fairly thin in a flat pan & turned out a tad dry. I think it would be creamier if baked in a smaller pan and thicker layer.
