Spinach is an abundant vegetable grown here in our state. I make this side dish often when spinach is in season.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 pound fresh spinach, chopped and cooked
1 jar (6-1/2 ounces) marinated artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
1 cup day-old bread cubes
1-1/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 jar (4 ounces) diced pimientos, drained
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Brush the bottom and sides of a 9-in. pie plate with 2 tablespoons oil; sprinkle with bread crumbs. Set aside.
In a skillet, saute mushrooms in remaining oil; drain. Remove from the heat. Squeeze spinach dry; add to mushrooms. Stir in artichokes, bread cubes, 1 cup of cheese, pimientos, eggs and garlic powder; stir well.
Spoon into the prepared pie plate. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 5-10 minutes longer or until the cheese is melted. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.
