Our Spinach

Ingredients:

1 box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 stick butter
1/2 onion, minced
4-5 slices white bread, cubed
3-4 eggs, beaten
1/2 c milk
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Turn heat to medium.  Melt 1/4 stick butter in pan and saute the minced onion.  Add 2/3 of what is left of the butter and allow to melt.  Add the bread cubes and keep turning the onion, butter and bread mixture until the bread is nicely toasted.  Remove from pan and set aside.

Turn heat to medium-low.  Melt the remaining butter in the pan and add the spinach, milk and eggs.  Slowly stir mixture until warmed and add 1/2 the bread mixture to the pan.  Keep cooking and stirring until done.  Transfer the mixture to a bowl or serving dish and top with remaining bread cubes.

**Some carnivores prefer to start this whole dish by frying bacon in the pan and using bacon drippings instead of butter.  They then set aside the crisp bacon to cool and then crumble it.  Add 1/2 the crumbled bacon at the same time you add 1/2 the bread cubes mixture.  Then top with the other 1/2 of the crumbled bacon at the end.
