Baked Spinach

I have a problem with my middle child eating vegetables. He seems to have an aversion to 'green'. This is one way to get him to eat his spinach and the whole family loves it, too.

Ingredients

• 4  large eggs, beaten lightly
• 1⁄4 cup  seasoned bread crumbs

• 1 (1/2lb) package frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Butter a 9 inch glass pie plate.
3. Combine the eggs, bread crumbs, cream cheese, salt and nutmeg and stir in spinach, half and half and Cheddar.
