SPINACH TORTA by DiamondGirly

2 (10 oz) packages chopped frozen spinach

6 slices white bread (cut into ¼ inch cubes)

½ cup olive oil

1 cup milk

6 eggs, beaten

3-4 Tablespoons dried minced onions

2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon black pepper

2/3 cup Parmesan Cheese

Paprika

Cook spinach as directed and drain. (I make in the microwave. You need to squeeze the water out of the spinach.) *Add bread, then all other ingredients in order listed, except Paprika, and mix together well.

Pour mixture into an 11 x 8-inch or 9 x 13-inch greased pan.

Spread mixture evenly in pan.

Sprinkle generously with Paprika. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes.

Let cool before cutting into squares. (I cut into about 1-inch squares, and it makes a large plate full, stacked!)

Keep refrigerated, while not serving. ENJOY !!

*HINT: You can use bread with or without crust. I have used both. I’ve also frozen the bread before cutting it with a bread-slicing knife into ¼-inch pieces. This makes it easier to cut. If you put all the liquid ingredients over the bread in a bowl, it helps the bread to be easier to mix. Using a whisk helps, also. This can be made a day or more ahead of time…it stays very fresh!

*I use my ricer to squeeze the water out of the spinach
