Great recipe - we have been making it for years (also found it in Veggie Life). Easy to make and tasty enough for company! We use the whole eggs rather than just the whites.

On my first bite I thought "this is ok". But I added some salt and this was wonderful. I had a hard time restraining myself from eating the leftovers as I cleared the table! Nice flavor and good consistency. Almost quiche-like but the spinach on the bottom gave it more texture. I only used 1 tablespoon parmesean because that was all I had, and I used regular monterey jack cheese. I baked it in an 8x8 pan and cut it into 4 huge servings. This made each piece 9 WW points (with only 1 tablespoon of parmesean). It was a nice hearty meal. Thanks so much!
