Get REAL Recipe of the Week

Baked Egg Souffle (it sounds hard, but it really isn't!)

1 big handful fresh spinach
2 eggs (or 1 egg and 2 egg whites)
couple of spoonfuls of low fat ricotta cheese

Bring a little bit of water to boil in a small sauce pan.  Throw in the spinach and cover until cooked--about 1-2 minutes.  Drain off the water.  Beat the eggs and put in a greased, oven-safe dish. ( I use a round mini-casserole dish--just big enough for one person.) Stir in the spinach and drop a couple of spoonfuls of ricotta on top.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Bake in the oven at 350 degrees until the middle is set (about 20-25 min.).  If you want you can turn the broiler on for the last minute or so to get it nice and brown on top.  Enjoy.

This is a great lunch for those cold days when you are at home by yourself.  Easy to make, and tastes delicious.  Throw a couple of tomato wedges on the side and you have yourself 2 veggies at once!!

Will give this a try today, since I'm home with a sick child.
