"This is a delicius meal for 8-10 people using spinach, ham and egss. I had lost this recipe years ago and was excited to find it today. I'll be making it this week for sure. I originally got the recipe from a Canadian Egg Marketing Agency when I lived in Ottawa, Canada. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do."
