Cheesy Spinach Pie

This would make a great brunch dish, or light supper, and could be a real ace in
the hole if you have vegetarians coming to dinner.

What you need:

• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
• 2 tablespoons (15 g) low-carb baking mix
• Salt and pepper
• 1 1/2 cups (180 g) shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup (50 g) shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 10-ounce (280 g) box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained

What you do:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9" (22.5 cm) pie plate.
2. Whisk together the eggs, cream, garlic powder, Tabasco, baking mix, and salt and pepper.
3. Stir in cheeses and spinach until well combined. Pour mixture into prepared pie plate.
4. Bake for approximately 35 minutes, or until set and starting to brown on top.
5. Let cool slightly, then cut into 8 wedges.

Tracie's note: "This recipe can be adapted many ways. For a Greek Spinach Pie, add oregano and substitute feta cheese. I will use whatever cheese I have in the fridge ... Swiss, blue, mozzarella ... or a combination of any of those."
