Spinach and Roasted Garlic Tart

Based on a recipe from Bob Greene’s book, The Best Life Diet Cookbook. He says, “This eggless, frittata-like dish makes a filling, savory breakfast. It is delicious just out of the oven, reheated, or served at room temperature.” I freeze this and take to work for lunch sides or snacks -- it's fantastic! To roast garlic: separate a head of garlic into cloves leaving the papery skin intact; lightly and evenly coat the cloves with cooking spray and place on a sheet pan; roast in preheated 375°F oven until soft to the touch, about 20 minutes; cool; peel off papery skin and use immediately or store tightly covered in the ‘fridge for 5 days.
