Alberta’s Spinach Pie

This recipe was submitted by my Aunt to a cookbook her mobile home community was publishing as a fundraiser. She credits her friend Alberta as her source for it. The meunster cheese holds up and the slices keep their shape nicely. It is a delicious recipe for low carb dieters too.
