We had a staff potluck and she brought these wonderful Spinach Squares (mind you--I had not thought of spinach that way--ever....may I underline ever! Until I had these). I asked her for the recipe and she giggled. She said there was always at least one person who asked for it wherever she brought them.
When she gave me the recipe there is a whole sheet of very good spinach recipes. I would have scanned them in but two of them have drastically faded...so here they are:
Spinach Squares
chilled & cut in to squares the savory baked spinach mixture is the best there and these can be eaten in small squares with the hand.
2 packages (10-oz each), frozen chopped spinach
3 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 pound mushrooms, sliced
4 eggs
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1 can (10 3/4 oz) condensed mushroom soup
1/4 teaspoon pepper, dry basil, and oregano leaves
1/3 cup parmesan cheese
Place spinach in a wire strainer and rinse under hot water to thaw then press out all of the water, set aside. Melt butter in a fring pan over medium heat, add onion and mushrooms and cook stirring until onion is limp.
In a bowl beat eggs with a fork then stir in bread crumbs, mushroom soup, 2 teaspoons of the parmesan cheese, pepper, basil, oregano, drained spinach, and onion mixture blended.
Turn in to a well-greased 9-inch square baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake uncovered at 325 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Cut in to 1-inch squares and serve hot or cold.
