Spinach Torta image

This is one of those dishes that can be cut into small squares and served at a buffet or served as a meatless dinner along with a salad (which is what I did tonight!) It's very rich, so a little goes a long way..... Sooooo good!

This torta is a great make-ahead dish. You can make it the night before and then just reheat it in the oven before serving.

I'm not usually a fan of spinach, but this torta was surprisingly good.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add a little more salt and pepper to the spinach mixture.

This spinach torta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish. The combination of spinach, cheese, and eggs is perfect, and the crust is flaky and golden brown.
