minutes before serving.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Cook the spinach in boiling water.
Drain, rinse with cool water, and squeeze out as much moisture as you
can.  Melt the butter in a small skillet.  Cook the scallions until
slightly  soft.  In a large mixing bowl, combine the cheeses and the
eggs. Mix well.  Add the spinach, the butter and scallions, the salt
and pepper and  mix again.  Lightly butter the bottom and sides of an
8-inch square baking dish.  Roll out a sheet of puff pastry on a
floured surface to make a  14-inch square. Roll out a second sheet to
make a 9-inch square. Lay  the bigger pastry sheet in the buttered
dish, draping the extra  pastry over the edges.  Spread the spinach and
cheese mixture evenly in the dish. Put the  remaining pastry sheet on
top. Trim excess pastry if necessary and  seal the edges closed. Use
scraps of pastry dough to decorate the top  of the pie. Brush top with
additional melted butter if desired. Bake  for 45 minutes at 350
degrees F. or until pastry is golden brown. Let  rest for  NOTES  
Spinach and cheeses in a puff pastry crust -- A recipe of this type
appeared in Cuisine Magazine. The dish is hearty enough to be a main
course, but can also be a side dish to a meat entree. Yield: Serves 4
to 6.    The casserole may be prepared, covered and refrigerated for up
to 8  hours.    As an alternative to puff pastry, you might try using
sheets of filo  dough, overlapped to make the bottom and top crusts. I
have also  baked this dish in a pie pan using filo dough. One way to
cut down on  the calories in this dish is to omit the bottom crust
entirely. This  is a very flexible recipe. Other vegetables can be
substituted for  the spinach, and other ingredients like sauteed garlic
and mushrooms  can be added. : Difficulty:  moderate.  : Time:  30
minutes preparation, 1 hour baking and cooling.  : Precision:
approximate measurement OK.  : Robin Harris Foster  : AT&T Information
