About
Some folks just don't like greens very much...but in this recipe, .the spinach is almost entirely un-noticeable so it is a good way to sneak in the nutrition. If you are concerned about strictly low-saturated fat foods; you could leave the cheddar out entirely and use the substitution of two egg whites in place of one whole egg. They are yummy served warm with butter or an olive oil dip, and they re-warm quite nicely in either a conventional or microwave oven
