I do not usually give reviews about recipes but we really did not like this one at all. There was just way too much cheese in this meal. My husband and I both took one bite and that was enough for us. It was really hard to choke down. I like the idea of the spinach and cheese together but I think less cheese would work much better.

This was great! I love the idea of quiche, but I hate eggs, so this was perfect for me! I didn't have any nutmeg, but I didn't miss it! I sauteed garlic, onion, some asparagus, & mushrooms that I added to the cheese & spinach. I agree with other reviews...about half of the cheese was enough. I did use all of the ricotta, but about half of the other cheeses. I love having an eggless quiche recipe now! Thanks!

I agree that this is a good recipe that needs some tweaking. I made the original recipe and it was very good. I love cheese, but it may be considered too cheesy by others. Also, some onion or garlic would give it more than just a cheese flavor. I like the idea of prebaking the shell a bit. My crust was a little "doughy". So, great taste, some tweaking and I would give this a 5. Also a good recipe for someone who has problems chewing. I had 5 teeth removed but could still handle gumming and chewing this recipe.

After reading other member reviews and making some tweaks, this recipe is a keeper. I used Marie Callender pie shells and divided the mix btwn the 2. First I prebaked the parchment lined shells weighted down with ceramic pie shell balls for 5 minutes at 425 degrees, then removed the parchment and baked 5 min more before adjusting temperature to original recipe. I added 4 beaten eggs to the spinach mix, 6 or so chopped raw mushrooms and 2 sliced scallions. I decreased the cheese by about 1/3. The nutmeg is critical in my opinion, gives this dish a flavor much different than a spanakopita recipe I make.

once i added the ingredients into the cheeses, i (finally) realized there were no portions of eggs and milk/half-in-half included into this recipe! perhaps that's why many of the reviews i've read about this apinach cheese pie were, "overwheliming...too cheesy...difficult to mix." where's the onions? could live without the onions, but certainly not the egg and milk!

Yummo! Even my 4 year old ate it. Husband raved! I cut the cheese by 1/3. Used two crusts. Added a bottom layer of sauteed onions and mushrooms. Leftovers were a hit with my "work wife."

I found this too difficult to mix the ingredients and the finish dish had to much of a cheese taste. I like cheese very much but this was going overboard.

Terrific. I am allergic to eggs so this was perfect for me. I made it as is but did add additional spinach. Thanks.

This was like eating a huge ball of cheese. I was very, very disappointed. IF I make this recipe again it will be with double the spinach and no more than half the cheese, probably about one-third of the cheese

This recipe turned out quite nice. There was not too much cheese as "yumyum" suggested and I am not quite sure how reviewing a recipe you've never made is useful. The recipe was easy to follow and, as stated, the nutmeg truly does add a little extra something. My toddler even enjoyed this which pleased me a lot! Between the eggs, spinach, and cheese she got a nice nutritional dinner. We served it with some tomato soup.

Please DO try the nutmeg. Nutmeg & spinach & cheese is a wonderful combination & I use it in three other recipes. Unless you completely HATE nutmeg, be brave & give it a try, it imparts a subtle but rich taste to the dish.

Question to poster; Photo doesn't show top crust. Is it needed or can it be baked without one?

Yummy! Added 2 eggs, left out 1/2 the cheese, added an extra package of spinach, & added a little onion powder. Used 2 Marie Callender pie crusts (they don't have Lard in them)

Wonderful dish. I read other reviews and took the advice of others and added sauteed mushrooms and onions into the mix as well as three eggs. I also decreased some of the cheese and omitted the nutmeg. My family enjoyed this as the main dish with some fruit.

I made this with the following changes. As suggested from the reviews I used 2 eggs, I omited the cheddar cheese and only used half of the Mozzarella. I did fry half lb of bulk Italian sausage with onion, red and green pepper mix. Next time I will leave out the salt. I also served this with a Marinara on the side...Yum! I look forward to playing with this recipe more.

I added a second box of spinach, and followed the rest exactly. the nutmeg was no problem for me, we just found it VERY dry. I think it lacks fat or broth or something with moisture. I am thinking of not draining the spinach so much and adding diced bacon. I liked the taste otherwise.

I sauteed butter / garlic and onions - a great added flavor. I also added one egg - just seemed to need it. This is a fantastic recipes - very easy and loved by my hubby and my dad, both of whom do not like spinach. I even used fat free ricotta and made no difference. next time i will also use reduced fat cheddar.
