For a simple Sunday supper, try this nutritious and delicious Spinach Cheese Pie. You can have the pie in the oven within a few minutes. Then go do something else while it bakes to perfection.
The secret to this pie is the freshly grated nutmeg. It really makes it zing - so don't substitute ground nutmeg from a spice tin, get a whole nutmeg and grate a little of it yourself for this dish!
SPINACH CHEESE PIE - Serves 6
1 (16 oz.) pkg. chopped frozen spinach, cooked and well drained
3 eggs
1 lb. low-fat cottage cheese
4 oz. shredded lowfat cheese or tofu
1/4 c. minced onion
Dash of freshly grated nutmeg
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray.
Combine all ingredients, mixing gently, then pour the mixture into the pie pan and bake for 1 hour or until browned on top and knife inserted in center comes out clean.
VARIATION: I like to top the pie with slices of fresh tomatoes once it's done, then return it to the oven for a few more minutes so the tomatoes set.
Add some warm crusty bread with butter, a glass of wine, and a tossed salad and your simple Sunday supper is complete and ready to eat!

I used to make spinach quiche a lot and always added nutmeg, it really does make a difference to the taste! Unfortunately, I'm the only one in the house that really enjoys spinach.
