This makes a wonderful breakfast or brunch. I made this even a bit healthier by using 1 cup of liquid egg whites in place of egg substitute...... it worked just fine. After reading the previos review, I was very generous with the amounts of salt, pepper, and cayenne. I kept the nutmeg at just a dash, though. I will make this often. Thanx!

This dish was good but it was missing a bit of spices - would add more next time! Nice mix of cheese and spinach - we did enjoy it with some chicken. Thanks chia! :)
