ingredients
8 cups trimmed fresh spinach leaves
OR
2 packages (10 ounce size) frozen chopped spinach, well-drained
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup chopped, peeled shallots
3 plum tomatoes
1/2 cup nonfat milk
2 eggs PLUS"PLUS" means this ingredient in addition to the one on the next line, often with divided uses

2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon salt

directions
Rinse fresh spinach well and place in a large saucepan with just the water that clings to leaves. Place saucepan over low heat and stir to wilt spinach, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain well. Chop coarsely and set aside.
Melt butter in a small skillet; add shallots and saute over medium-low heat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Set aside. Halve tomatoes and squeeze out and discard seeds and juice. Coarsely chop and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, egg substitute, Jack cheese, dill, lemon peel and salt and pepper. Stir in spinach, shallots and tomatoes. Turn into a buttered 8-inch square baking pan or a 9-inch pie pan. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake in preheated 350 degrees F oven 25 minutes or until golden. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Made exactly as written and it was excellent. I will make this again.

First off I'm going to preface it with saying the recipe was tasty. However, 2 things I have to complain about. There is no way you baked this in 25 minutes. About 70 minutes here. And the recipe shouldn't be so that the 9 inch pan overflows, just reduce your sizes so that people don't waste ingredients.

This spinach quiche recipe caught my eye because of the muenster cheese. It was AWESOME!

As an ex-carboholic, quiche was my favorite food. I couldn't imagine it without crust. This recipe is perfect and I did't miss the crust. My husband even liked it. It is absolutely firm enough due to the eggs substitute.
