So I buy a prebaked pie shell- the frozen kind. I defrost a box of spinach and squeeze out the excess water. I add one fried onion, a can of mushrooms, envelope of onion soup mix, 2 eggs, tbsp of mayo, a splash of milk and a bag os shredded cheese- any kind. Mix all together, fill shell and bake for about 40 min- 1 hour.
Its my husbands favorite dairy dish.

I make stuffed manicotti and it's yummy. I mix some defrosted frozen spinach with fat free cottage cheese, sauteed onions and garlic, some shredded mozzerella cheese (you can vary the amount of cheese depending on how much fat you want or don't want!), salt & pepper. Stuff this mixture into cooked manicotti noodles. Pour some marinara sauce into a pan, put the manicotti in, top with some more sauce and a sprinkle of shredded mozerrella. Bake until cheese is melted.

The crustless spinach quiche from the Kosher Pallette is really delicious! I make it all the time. Here's the recipe:
Crustless Spinach Quiche
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup mayo
1 small onion, chopped
2 (10 oz.) packages of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained (squeeze out water)
3 T cake meal/matza meal
2 cups (8 oz.) shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups (8 oz.) shredded mozzarella - I use half this amt. and its plenty

Preheat oven to 350. Combine eggs, milk, mayo, onion, spinach, cake meal, and cheddar cheese in a bowl. Pour into greased 8x8 pan, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake 30-45 minutes until puffed in center and knife inserted near center comes out clean. (usually closer to 45 min.)
Yum!
