YUM! Made and served this this morning for our Easter brunch. Very nice flavor. I loved the Meunster cheese! And it was really, really easy. I cut it into pie wedges and served--everyone really liked it. Thanks for posting!

Great spinach dish! This was really easy to throw together and the end result was very nice looking. We served this with a "side" of lemon pepper chicken breast. I will be making this dish often. Thanks for the great recipe :)
