INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat and add the
spinach. Cook, stirring, until it wilts in the water left on its
leaves. It will take about a minute for all the spinach to wilt after
the water on its leaves reaches a boil. Transfer to a colander and
press out as much water as possible. When the spinach is cool enough
to handle, wrap it in a towel and squeeze out more water. Chop fine.
If you're using defrosted spinach, squeeze out the water.  Preheat the
oven to 375#161#F. Brush a 2-quart gratin dish with olive  oil.  Heat 1
tablespoon of the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed nonstick  skillet over
medium heat. Add the onion and saute, stirring, until  tender and just
beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic  and spinach. Stir
together for about 30 seconds, then transfer to a  large bowl. Stir in
the rice, cheeses, parsley, thyme, and beaten  eggs. Add salt and
pepper to taste. Turn the mixture into prepared  gratin dish and smooth
the top with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle on  the breadcrumbs and
drizzle on the remaining olive oil.  Bake for 30 minutes or until the
gratin is set and the top golden  brown. Remove from the heat and allow
to cool. Cover and refrigerate.  Cut into squares and serve.  COMMENTS:
This is really delicious, but make sure to season well with  salt and
pepper or it can be a little bland. Keeps well for several  days and
makes perfect picnic food. Posted to MC-Recipe Digest V1 #180  Date: 2

NOTES : Fresh spinach should have stems removed and leaves well
washed. This dish can also be made with 2 10-ounce boxes of frozen
chopped spinach instead of fresh.
