Crustless Spinach Quiche

When I think of a quiche I think of it as a dainty dish served at a lady’s affair, like a bridal shower or jewelry party.   I don’t think any of my male friends or family have said, “Hey, I could go for a good quiche.”  I was using a deep man voice when I said that.     😉    However, every time I serve this quiche to my friends and family (whether they are male or female), they rave about it!

It’s so weird how delicious food can come across as unappealing in a photograph.  I actually thought about not posting this recipe because I couldn’t get the meatballs to look “pretty.”  But my husband convinced me to go ahead since they really are an awesome dish.  Hopefully you’ll just take my word for it and try them.     🙂  The honest truth is …
