Mock Spinach Soufflé

Total time: 40 minutes
     Another recipe whose origins are lost in the mists of time.  It's delicious, easy and helps me get my weekly ration of spinach.  Even non-spinach lovers are happy with this.  With a bit of bread and a salad it can also make a light lunch.

 Ingredients:

• 8oz (250gr) frozen spinach, 225gr, 8oz
• 2 eggs (substitute 3 egg whites), 130gr, 4.6oz whole eggs
• 1/2 cup plain or Greek yogurt, 125gr, 4.4oz plain
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan, 25gr, .88oz
• pinch of nutmeg
• 1 tbs olive oil, 13.5gr, .48oz

 Instructions:

• Thaw spinach (use microwave, hot water or saucepan) and squeeze out excess moisture.
• In medium bowl beat eggs well,
• Add yogurt, Parmesan and nutmeg.  Mix well.
• Add spinach and mix well.
• Lightly oil a small baking dish.  (I use a 7 inch square glass baking dish.)
• Pour in spinach and bake at 400F (200C) for 30 minutes or until set.
• Remove and serve directly from baking dish.
