Serve these quiche-like spinach squares as a main dish, lunch or brunch, or as appetizers.

Cook Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3 (10 oz each) packages frozen chopped spinach or 32-ounce family-size package
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 cups soft bread crumbs
  • 2 to 3 cups diced cooked ham (about 12 to 16 ounces)
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • Hollandaise Sauce, link below
  • White Sauce Variation, link below

Preparation:

Hollandaise Sauce or a White Sauce Variation
Cook spinach according to package directions; drain well. In a skillet over medium heat, cook onion in the butter until tender. Combine beaten eggs with milk, bread crumbs, ham, cooked onion, spinach, and seasoned salt. Spread in an ungreased 12x7x2-inch or 9-inch square baking dish. Bake at 350° for 40 to 45 minutes, or until set. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Serve with Hollandaise sauce, cheese sauce, or other sauce of your choice.

I varied it a bitJanuary 01, 2009By Blissfulfool
"Yummy! I added the spinach (still frozen) to the pan after cooking the onions, and cooked just long enough to thaw and get warm. I used some herb seasoned stuffing cubes for the bread crumbs, using a bit more to compensate for the extra moisture in the spinach. I added some bits of cheese (havarti, feta, and a smelly camenbert-like something) and left out the ham. It didn't need a sauce."
