NO CARB SPINACH BREAD
A low carber's dream come true! I saw this on the "Today" show and was intrigued. This came from the "Taste of Home" website. I haven't made this yet, but definitely plan too! I'm guessing this is more like a polenta than a bread. Note cook time and servings are for the smaller version, not the loaf.

- It takes longer to cook in the loaf pan, but you end up with a whole loaf of bread that you can slice and freeze.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Butter an 8x8-inch glass baking dish.
- Mix together spinach, eggs, and garlic.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour into prepared pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until mixture has set.
- Allow to cool slightly.
- Cut into 4 squares.
- Use a spatula to remove squares from pan.
- Refrigerate or freeze until ready to use.

LOW CARB SPINACH-CHEESE "BREAD"
Makes a great sandwich wrapper. Make thick or thin, depending on your desires. Stays flexible, yet is sturdy enough to stand up to fillings. Add herbs or spices to vary the flavor - caraway seeds give the illusion of a rye type bread. My favorite way is to make thin for a wrap, seasoned with some garlic and cayenne pepper.

Steps:
- Thaw spinach, then squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Place the dry spinach in a bowl and break up into small clumps.
- Preheat oven to 350. Line a baking sheet or pan with parchment paper, or spray well with non-stick spray.
- Add remaining ingredients to spinach and stir to break up the spinach into small pieces and combine the ingredients well.
- Spread batter evenly into prepared baking pan.
- Bake about 20 minutes, or until dry and turning golden brown.
- Remove from oven, loosen from parchment paper, let cool. Cut into desired serving sized pieces.
- I usually use a cookie sheet that measures 10x13, the batter spreads out to about 1/4 inch in this pan. When it is cooked it makes a thickish wrapper that can be rolled up around whatever ingredients. You can use a smaller pan to have thicker "bread" if desired.
- Keeps well in a plastic bag for a couple of days. I have never had enough to last longer than that, it usually gets eaten by the second day.
Tips:
- Use fresh spinach. Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen spinach. If you are using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before using.
- Don't overcook the spinach. Overcooked spinach will become limp and lose its flavor. Cook the spinach just until it is wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Use a good quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the bread. Use a cheese that melts well, such as mozzarella, cheddar, or Parmesan.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
- Bake the bread until it is golden brown. The bread is done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Conclusion:
This low-carb spinach cheese bread is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy your favorite comfort food. It is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The bread is also freezer-friendly, so you can make a batch ahead of time and enjoy it whenever you want.
