Crustless Cheesy Potato & Spinach Quiche

Last night I looked through hundreds of photographs of us, our home, our family, Briana as a baby, old pictures and new. Every photo has a story to tell, every photo has something special and all of them with a memory attached. Looking through these snapshots of the past gives me feelings of insane satisfaction and happiness. It’s amazing how much we change as we age. Even when we take good care of ourselves the process of aging is inevitable. It’s the way of life. As I looked through those photos I couldn’t help but miss the days Briana was a baby. Her face has changed so much, yet her expressions remain the same. I simply could not imagine life without photographs.
I couldn’t imagine life without yummy food either. That’s why I cook. Speaking of delicious food, this Crustless Cheesy Potato & Spinach Quiche is absolutely delicious. I served it with salad for dinner one night and it doubled up as a great lunch the next day. This quiche makes a fabulous brunch addition for Mother’s Day. Serve it with a mimosa, breakfast sausage, maple bacon and you’ll make mom very happy. Crustless Cheesy Potato & Spinach Quiche

Season with salt and pepper. Grease a 9 inch baking pan. Arrange potato slices on the bottom, pour in the egg mixture. Bake until golden and puffed, about 1 hour.
