From Good Food Magazine, March 1986. This is not the Greek standard, but a crustless, almost quiche-like recipe that can be cut in wedges and alternated with wedges of Potato-Oat Cake on 2 serving plates.
Ingredients:
butter, and
flour, for pan
2 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 small onion, coarsely chopped
2 large eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
fresh ground pepper
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom.
2. Saute bacon and onion in small skillet over medium heat until bacon is crisp and onion golden, 5-7 minutes.
3. Whisk eggs, cream, basil, thyme, salt, and pepper to taste in medium mixing bowl. Squeeze liquid from spinach. Stir spinach, bacon, and onion into egg mixture. Spread evenly in prepared pan and place pan on baking sheet.
