Delicious Spinach Appetizer

The first thing I want to say right now is that this is not a quiche. It really doesn't taste anything like a quiche. In fact, the first time I made this, I mistakenly made this as a breakfast casserole thinking that I could pass it as a quiche, and was mistaken. It has only a few eggs, and a TON of cheese, and so it's very rich.

Having said that, this is an incredible DELICIOUS appetizer. I love spinach, I'd put it in everything if my husband would consent, so this is definitely one of my favorites. It's very easy to make, and can be served at room temperature. If you are entertaining, and you know you'll have some spinach lovers, this won't disappoint!
