“This is my signature dish for Christmas
Eve with the in-laws. Everyone arrives at different times during the day, so give them something to snack on. They’re also great served for the Patriots games, cookouts and parties.” — Ginny Morreale
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. In a 9- by 13-inch baking dish, melt the butter.
3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs well. Add the milk, flour and baking powder and mix well. Add the cheese, spinach, onion and bacon and mix well. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
4. Bake until golden brown on top, 35 to 40 minutes. Cut into squares.
Note: This can be baked in a large muffin pan and served as mini quiches, or in 2 pie dishes for a breakfast quiche.
