Here is a nice simple recipe for lunch or a light evening meal.  Quick and easy to put together (just the way I like it!)

Spinach & Bacon Slice

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon oil

1 large onion, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, crushed

3 rashers bacon, diced

1 bunch English spinach or 6 large silverbeet leaves, washed and shredded

2 tablespoons self-raising flour

6 x 60g eggs

½ cup milk

1 cup grated tasty cheese

2 tomatoes, sliced

Method:

1. Heat oil in large fry pan.  Add onion, garlic and bacon and stir over heat until onion is softened and bacon in just crisp.  Add spinach to pan.  Stir over heat until spinach is soft and most of the liquid has evaporated.  Transfer spinach mixture to a large bowl to cool slightly.  Stir in flour, then add eggs and milk.  Stir until combined.  Stir in cheese.
2. Pour the mixture into a greased rectangular (5-cup capacity) ovenproof dish.  Arrange tomato slices on top of mixture.  Bake at 180^oC for about 45 minutes until slice is set and lightly browned.

Stand in dish for 5 minutes before cutting into squares.  Serve warm with salad and crusty bread if desired.

Variation:

Complete step 1, but instead of adding milk and eggs add some cream and the cheese and stir through some cooked pasta until heated through.  Makes a very yummy pasta sauce!
