Really yummy. I used 3 eggs, half the cheese and a little garlic powder. Served at Thanksgiving and it was a hit!
I have made this several times. My family loves it, and coworkers have asked me for the recipe. I like to add Italian Seasoning. Also, I add a cooked meat; such as ground pork or bacon. Today I added mushrooms.
Our family loved this – I was able to make it gluten free by doing a substitution of the same amount of cup-for-cup gluten-free flour (I used King Arthur brand).
A family favorite!!!! We love spinach, so we double that. Awesome recipe!!
I loved it and the rest of my family liked it. Added more spices. Cooked the onions before adding them. Halved the cheese for Lactose intolerant daughter.
This was absolutely delicious. I used twice as much spinach and half the cheddar cheese. I liked this so much, I think this will be our Thanksgiving vegetarian entree.
Very good. I have made a similar recipe with broccoli, and it works just as well with spinach. I used a one pound bag of fresh spinach, microwaved it for 1 1/2 minutes, squeezed out the moisture, then chopped. Omitted the butter. Added a small amount of Andouille sausage, thinly sliced. Reduced the amount of onion and sauteed it with the andouille before adding to the mix.
Really drain spinach extremely well
I made it, it was good, maybe less butter next time. I also used taco cheese and sauteed fresh spinach in garlic for this recipe. Yum
I make this every year for Christmas morning. I have tried with raw and sautéed onions and in my opinion it is better with the onions going in raw. I do 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper.
Really easy to make and everyone loved it. Like other reviewers, I omitted the butter completely. I was also about 8 ozs short on cheese, and it still came out fine.
Delicious. I should have used less butter but it was very good. Next time less butter and I will add some garlic.
I made this with 8 eggs instead of 6 because I used a 16 oz. bag of spinach & 1 cup of onion. The rest of the ingredients were the same the cheese: I grated an 8 oz. block of swiss cheese to equal 16 oz. shredded. I think swiss tastes better with spinach than cheddar. My husband gave it a 10 out of 10!
delicious! used 8 eggs, cooked onion with 1-2 tsp minced garlic prior to adding to eggs; also added fresh parsley per others’ recommendation. after eating for dinner, I will freeze in squares to eat for breakfasts
I added two extra eggs like others suggested, otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. The is a great basic recipe that you could build upon for variety. This will be added to my recipe box for sure!
Sorry to post again but I mentioned it was keto but forgot to say when you leave out the flour or substitute it….
I make this all the time today varying the addons today I added fresh spinach sauted in bacon grease with onions and peppers and fresh garlic. I also chopped up homemade Lebanon bologna and sauted with it let it cool and than added to egg mixture with fresh grated gouda cheese and added some moe garlic powder. Depending on what you want this recipe is versatile on the extras you add from different herbs and spices etc. I love this recipe
Used wilted fresh spinach and 8 eggs. Big hit.
Used wilted fresh spinach and 8 eggs. Big hit.
I added feta cheese to give it a “Greek” spin!
I didn’t use the onion or flour. I sautéed fresh spinach and mushrooms. My family loved it and my husband’s aunt asked for the recipe.
