Pastry for 9-inch, one crust pie
1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen spinach (I use 2), thawed and drained
1/2 c. chopped onion
1/3 c. half and half (I use evaporated milk)
1/4 tsp. salt
1 drop Tabasco
4 eggs (I use Egg Beaters)
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
3 c. shredded Monterey Jack cheese (12 oz.) (I use low fat cheese)

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare pastry and line pie plate. Press excess liquid from spinach and pat spinach dry. Arrange spinach in bottom of pie plate. Sprinkle with onion (can also add chopped ham at this time if desired).

Beat half and half, salt, pepper sauce, eggs and garlic slightly. Stir in cheese. Pour over spinach. Bake until golden brown and knife inserted in center comes out clean, 40-45 minutes. (I usually bake mine 50 minutes at least.) Serves 6.
