I made this casserole in a muffin tin and it worked great. It's a great way to make individual servings.

I didn't have any cheddar cheese, so I used mozzarella cheese instead. It was still very good.

I had some trouble finding fresh spinach, so I used frozen spinach instead. It worked just fine.

The eggs were a little overcooked for my taste. I would cook them for a shorter amount of time next time.

This casserole was a little bland for my taste. I think I would add some more salt and pepper next time.

I'm not usually a fan of spinach, but this casserole changed my mind. The spinach was cooked perfectly and the cheese sauce was creamy and flavorful. The eggs were also cooked perfectly.
