Spinach Souffle

Shortly after Easter, Mom found she was craving different vegetable dishes.  She remembered Patti preparing this frequently and called her for her recipe.  She agreed that it was simple yet a very good way to introduce kids to certain vegetables they normally wouldn't eat.  Because this has so many dairy products it could be substituted as a major course in a meal as well.  Even dad liked it.

4                              Eggs, beaten
