I made this with sharp cheddar in place of the Romano cheese, and we liked it. I did add a handful of diced onion, but we felt it really wasn't needed. My one beef is that there was no way this would fit in one 8x8" pan! We ended up preparing an extra one and baking both for 30 minutes. This is a good but easy basic recipe you can do a lot with, according to your preferences. I'll be making it again, for sure.
I'm sorry, but even with some hot pepper in this dish it was pretty tasteless. I won't be making this one again.
I added some sausage and cut back on cottage cheese and only used 1 12 oz. spinach. I did use paper towel to dry spinach . Cook additional 10 min.
Delish! I did add Italian turkey sausage, hot sauce & used southwestern egg substitute. The dish had lots of flavor!!! The mini muffin tin seemed a bit small, will try using regular size muffin tin next time. I give it 4 stars and will definitely make again<
Good but a bit bland, will add onion, try hot sauce and more cheese next time. Nice veggie side dish.
@jwatsv 30 january...don't give up just yet. Try cooked sausage, bacon or ham cubes next time. Hot sauce added to eggs was the key for me. Also added some Accent seasoning to the egss that went on top. If this is not for you maybe others will find this helpful.
It was just ok. Kind of bland. Should've added sausage like someone else recommended. Probably wont make again.
Forgot to say that I made this in the morning and let it set up in the fridge for 12 hrs before baking. I am sure this helped w/ the flavor meld. As others, squeeze spinich REAL dry. Also drained cottage cheese to eliminate the extra moisture.
Made this last eve and it was really good. Added 8-12oz of cooked bulk sausage and about a tea of Franks Hot sauce to the beaten eggs. It added just the right amount of zip! Would eliminate the bread crumbs on the bottom of pan, added nothing to this great recipe. Had to cook an extra ten min to tighten it up.
I combined this recipe with another one called Sausage Egg Bake and altered it to suit what I had on hand & it was fabulous. I didn't bother with bread crumbs. I used only 1pkg of spinach and only 2 cups of cottage cheese. I still used the parmesan but I increased it to 7 eggs. I also added a cup of chopped meat (I had ham, will try sausage next time), a can of undiluted cream of potato soup, a cup of leftover mashed potatoes, 2 chives, finely chopped, 1/4 tsp pepper, 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar in the mix and an additional cup sprinkled on top before baking. I cooked it @ 375 for hour because my oven always seems to take a little longer than what recipes call for.
