Blue Ribbon Recipe
Serve this spinach cheese casserole as a holiday side dish or at a brunch. Buttery, light, and flaky puff pastry holds in a spinach and cheese filling. Made with eggs, it almost has a quiche-like feel, but not as eggy. The mixture of Parmesan, Feta, and ricotta cheese is wonderful with the savory spinach. It's hearty and delicious.
