Tasty Tuesday : Low Carb Muenster Spinach Pie

Tasty Tuesday is a weekly feature designed to share low carb and / or healthy recipes. 

A low carb diet has been suggested as an appropriate method for weight loss for women who have been diagnosed with PCOS, but as always, please consult a medical professional (doctor, dietitian, nutritionist) before embarking on any healthy eating plan. 


Low Carb Muenster Spinach Pie

12 ounces muenster cheese, sliced
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed & drained
2 eggs
1/3 C grated Parmesan cheese
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
salt to taste
pepper to taste
garlic powder to taste

1) Preheat oven to 350F (325F if using a glass dish).
2) Line quiche dish or 9 inch pie plate with 8 ounces of muenster cheese slices.
3) Carefully pres all of the water out of the spinach and place in a large mixing bowl.
4) Add eggs, Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, salt, pepper and garlic powder and mix well. 
5) Spoon mixture into cheese-lined pan and top with remaining slices of muenster cheese.
6) Bake for 35 minutes. Allow to set up for 10 minutes before serving. Yield = 8 servings. 

I selected this recipe because it reminds me so much of the spinach dish they serve at our local Chinese buffet. 

NOTE : If you are following Weight Watchers, this works out to be 8 Points Plus per serving.

    The Only Rule : Be kind.

    We're each on our own journeys through life, and there is already enough negativity in this world. This little space on the web is meant to be warm, welcoming and friendly. I will take measures to govern the comments if things seem to be getting out of hand. If you follow The Only Rule, we'll all get along just fine :)
