No Carb Spinach Bread

Recipe #68704 | 25 min | 10 min prep | add private note

A low carber's dream come true! I saw this on the "Today" show and was intrigued. This came from the "Taste of Home" website. I haven't made this yet, but definitely plan too! I'm guessing this is more like a polenta than a bread. Note cook time and servings are for the smaller version, not the loaf.

  1. 1
    There are two ways to make this: in a glass baking dish or tripling the recipe and baking it in a loaf pan.

    Butter an 8x8-inch glass baking dish.
  5. 5
    Mix together spinach, eggs, and garlic.
  6. 6
    Season with salt and pepper.
  7. 7
    Pour into prepared pan.
  8. 8
    Bake for 15 minutes or until mixture has set.
  9. 9
    Allow to cool slightly.
  10. 10
    Cut into 4 squares.
  11. 11
    Use a spatula to remove squares from pan.
  12. 12
    Refrigerate or freeze until ready to use.
  13. 13
    To make a whole loaf of this bread, triple the ingredients and pour into a well buttered loaf pan.

This dish makes a wonderful base for pizza toppings! Even my 5 year old likes it. Thanks for a great recipe.

    This was delicious!!!! I WILL make it again...added some onions in the mix the first time out and thats good. Couldnt wait for it to cool and tried it warm out of the oven....very good, cant wait to try it cold....if it lasts that long! Thought it would be very quiche-y (im not a big fan of "traditional breakfast" foods) and it wasnt at all! Not sure how it would hold up as a "sandwich" bread, more knife and fork, however, fetta cheeze and a nice tomato would be delicous.

    I'm sorry, Yooper — I really wanted to like this 'cause I sure miss my bread on the low-carb routine. But I found this to have a texture like a rubbery quiche, and it really just wasn't great. I know you hadn't made it when you posted, so I wanted to let you know. I ended up buttering the pieces lightly, then dredging them in Parmesan and grilling them on the George Foreman. That was fairly tasty. I will probably top the next couple slices with a little marinara and mozzarella and put them under the broiler. Thanks for posting it, it was sure worth a try.

    Yooper, this is a great low carb treat. Of course, it is not *bread*, but it is a great sub for bread when you have that desperate craving for a sandwich and are on a low carb diet. It is the exact same recipe as in Suzanne Somers' book "Fast and Easy" for Somersizers, level one. For her "Green Eggs and Ham Sandwich", she recommends cooking bacon, and then frying the bread in the bacon grease for one minute on each side, then building a sandwich with cheese, ham and bacon. Frying the bread made it much better for me, as it turned crispy and made for a delicious sandwich that made me feel like I was cheating!! I really enjoyed this recipe as is, but I will say that next time I will add some fresh grated parmesan to it before baking to take away the stronger spinach flavour. Thanks for a low carbers life saver Yooper!
