This was a really good recipe! I made it for my family and they all loved it. The only thing I would change is that I would add a little more spinach.

The crust was a bit too dry for my liking. I think I would have preferred a flakier crust.

This spinach torta was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better with more salt and pepper.
