THIS RECIPE comes from an old cookbook I received as a wedding gift in 1945. As they grew up, my children loved all vegetables, but they often requested spinach served this way. Through the years, it has remained a family favorite. --Jane Everett Pinehurst, North Carolina

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

  • ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

  • 2 eggs, beaten

Directions

  1. In a saucepan, cook spinach in a small amount of water for 2-3 minutes; drain thoroughly. Add 4 tablespoons butter, salt, pepper, cheese, eggs and milk.
