Spinach, Bacon and Cheese Strata image

Adapted from WeightWatchers - a Strata is sort of like an omlette, and sort of like a quiche. It's cooked stovetop, and then broiled in the oven - so if you don't have an oven-proof skillet, cover the handle with aluminum foil before broiling! Weight Watchers Points per slice: 4

This was a delicious and easy strata. I added some chopped mushrooms and it was even better. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I'm not a big fan of spinach, but I loved this strata! The bacon and cheese really balanced out the flavor of the spinach. I'll definitely be making this again.

This strata was a little bland for my taste, but it was still a good recipe. I'll try adding some more seasonings next time.
