Happy New Year!
OK, first let me call you out on a softball challenge. Then, let me thank you for that. You guys, in your wisdom, could see past Christmas and into this holiday limbo before New Years, and know that huge gourmet undertakings are not first priority. We ended up squeezing this one in for lunch before heading out of town again.
We followed instructions to the T, except for replacing fresh spinach with the frozen blocks (no fresh to be found), and making an entirely separate second trip to the grocery for the feta.
The process was simple, and the results were pretty darn good. I think working with the frozen spinach definitely complicated matters - with so much water already in there and all compacted together, it was pretty time consuming to get it thoroughly dried out. Maybe you guys had an easier time with the fresh?
This is one instance where the addition of onions (eek!) or garlic (ah) wouldn't hurt. We added no salt, and didn't think it needed any either. J said he thought it was a touch too spinachy for him, but it suited me. It's always nice to have a quiche-like dish sans the crust too. And no dairy? Which made us ask, 'which is better, a lot of eggs no dairy, or a few of both?' I really don't know. I did read recently that eating egg yolks and all their cholesterol actually doesn't increase your cholesterol levels....
Thanks for the challenge - next one coming up soon!!
