Spinach Cheese Squares

I found this in my mother's collection of recipe clippings, from the 1960's. The only change I made was to reduce the salt to one-half teaspoon. You could probably substitute frozen chopped spinach to save time. I think these taste great at room temperature.

ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 lb monterey jack cheese, shredded (Sometimes I use jack cheese with jalapenos)

- 3 -4 tablespoons onions, minced
- 1⁄2 teaspoon mixed Italian herbs
- 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Melt butter in a 9 X 13 pan. Either melt butter in microwave and then pour into pan, or place baking pan with butter into oven for a minute or two; then remove from oven and tip the pan so that the butter coats evenly on bottom and sides.
- Beat eggs.
- Mix flour into beaten eggs.
- Stir in milk, salt and baking powder.
- Add cheese and spinach, mixing well.
- Add onion and seasonings, stirring thoroughly.
- Spread into baking pan and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.
- Cool 30 minutes before serving.
- Cut 6 across and 9 down for the perfect sized finger-food appetizer.

My whole family loves these. My tweaks: skipped the butter and sprayed the baking pan with Pam. Cut the cheese to two cups (8 oz). Upped the herbs a little, skipped the nutmeg, added some garlic and just a few hot pepper flakes. So, so good. Thanks! -
I made this for a baby shower brunch and thought it was pretty good, but was missing something. I think next time I will try the pepper jack as I think that will probably make this perfect. Very easy, thanks for posting this keeper!

This is excellent as a side dish for fish or any meat!We loved it!I think this is going to be a front runner recipe in the way to serve spinach. Used 2 tblsps chopped dried onions soaked in cold water for ten minutes instead of fresh onions. I used 2 eggs and 2 cups of cheese, mexican mixed and sharp cheddar.I used a 10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed,drained. I used 1/2 tsp lemon pepper and italian seasoning. No nutmeg used.

I was looking for recipe similar to this, and when I saw "great at room temperature" and pic, decided this must be "IT" Used half cheddar and half pepperjack for a change, and it was interesting that one would never know if they got the peppery bite or not! ABSOLUTLEY great at room temperature- the flavors come out!
