Spinach Amore and an Award!

I've been on a spinach kick and I love this recipe so why not call it "Spinach Amore' " ? It's savory, it's creamy, it is simple amore on a fork!

2 eggs

1/2 cup low fat sour cream

1 cup grated Parmigiana-Reggiano

1 tablespoon flour

1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg

Salt and pepper to taste


Cook frozen spinach in a small amount of chicken or vegetable stock with onion until thawed. Turn into a greased casserole. Beat eggs in a small bowl turn into casserole with spinach and add rest of ingredients. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes.

P.S. I am so aggravated with blogger - why does line spacing go so haywire and unfixable?

    Made a spinach dish last week and Harry loved it. He didn't know he liked spinach. I think he would love this recipe. So glad my mama made me eat my spinach as a child. I guess that is where I learned to love it.

    Thank you for the award you are the best bloggin buddy, so I guess you are my B.B.B. :)

    (yeah, I was fighting with blogger yesterday, it's nuts sometimes)

    I'm not a huge fan of cooked spinach dishes, though I love raw spinach in salad! This does look really good though!
