Spinach and cheese make a great pair. This recipe reminds me of spanakopita, only without the greasy phyllo dough. If you prefer, you can use a different chopped vegetable. Ingredients:
1 frozen pie shell |
3 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed |
1 small onion, finely chopped |
1 cup low fat cottage cheese (or no-fat if you prefer) |
3 large eggs |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper |
1 package sliced muenster cheese (at least 6 slices) |
1 sliced tomato (to garnish) (optional) |
Directions:
1. Drain spinach well, pressing between layers of paper towels.
2. Combine spinach, onion, cottage cheese, eggs, salt, and pepper.
3. Spoon into pie shell.
4. Place the pie shell on a baking pan or something to catch the drippings.
5. Cover and bake at 350 for until almost set, about 45 minutes.
6. Arrange the cheese slices on the pie and then put back in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
7. Let it cool for at least 10 minutes.
8. If desired, garnish with tomato slices.
