i used all fresh ingredients, spinach, herbs, crumbs and cheese, this was so light, like a souffle, and had great flavor too. i'm sure this would work without the breadcrumbs too, i will try it that way next time(fir the low carb dieters). evelyn, this is a keeper, thanks!

What a good dish! The whole family liked it (our 1 year old especially!) I served it with a spinach salad topped with orange slices and crispy bacon for a light dinner. Subbed whole milk for the cream since that's what I had on hand and the result was lovely and light. Really nice recipe ---- thanks.
