Crust-less Spinach Pie

I serve this spinach pie in squares as opposed to ?pie slices? since it makes for easier finger food. You can do it that way, or make it more traditionally in a 9-inch pie dish. Makes 32 small squares or 16 heftier portions.

Ingredients:
3 10-ounce packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and removed of all water (squeeze well with paper towels)
2 whole eggs, plus 2 egg whites
1/2-cup flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded low fat cheddar cheese
1-cup skim milk
Cooking spray to grease the pan

Directions:
Preheat oven 350. Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Beat eggs in a medium sized mixing bowl. Add milk to eggs. In a separate bowl combine flour, salt, and baking powder. Add flour mixture to egg mixture and mix well. Add spinach and cheese, and stir well. Pour all contents into the baking dish. Cook at 350 until it begins to brown on the edges, about 35-40 minutes.
