- 24
ingredients
- 20 ounces frozen spinach, chopped
- 1 lb cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup skim milk (or whichever milk you have on hand)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 cup shallot, chopped (may also use diced onion)

directions
- Defrost and drain the spinach. Thoroughly squeeze handfuls to remove the liquid. Reserve for another use if desired. The water leftover from this is great for cooking pasta or rice!
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix drained spinach with all remaining ingredients except cooking spray.
- Spray a 9x2x13 baking pan with cooking spray. Bake for 30 - 40 minutes until top is nicely browned. Let cool and cut into squares.
- My favorite way to have leftover spinach squares is to cut one up into small pieces and use it as omelet filling. Yummy!
- Cut into 24 squares for hors d'oeuvres.

OMG these are just delicious. I'm no expert on Spinach Squares, but I can't think of a thing I would change about this recipe, with the exception of using fresh sauted spinach, which I prefer over the frozen. I was a little worried that the onions, which I used, would not get done but it did and was just great. I may have used a little bigger baking dish than I should have making only half the recipe, as it was just a little thin, but still just delicious. Thanks so much for sharing. I can't wait to try the leftovers in an omelet filling as suggested. Made for Spring PAC 2012

This looks so good, I had to make it right away! Since I am Sicilian, I added some garlic, a pinch oregano and basil. Since I only had a 12 oz bag of spinach I cut the recipe in half, and in doing that, made a mistake and put 2 eggs in instead of one! I also used a bit less cheese(approx. 6 ounces) It just came out of the oven and I'm anxious to taste it!!! BTW I'm making it my main dish, with some fruit on the side! YUM!!!

I try to eat home-cooked meals more often than not. Dishes need to be "leftovers stable" and easy to do in an hour or less. More than an hour and my attention span fades!
