Delicious, especially served fresh and hot. Like a mini spinach quiche minus the bad stuff! This is one of my favourite South Beach diet recipes, it makes going back to phase 1 a little easier. I halved the recipe for the two of us and used fresh spinach and green onions since that is what I had on hand. Thanks for posting this, it's a keeper.
