Florentine Bake

Our friend Shellie was nice enough to pose for some photos for Mike this weekend. After they were finished with the photos, and as a small thank you, I made this florentine bake with baked apple struesel pancake bars (coming in a few days). (Ann has posed too but her cooking has to wait until Lent is over!)

I really liked this baked dish filled with eggs, cheese, spinach and potatoes. (Since there were only 3 of us, I halved the recipe.) The original recipe from Pioneer Woman calls for a layer of sausage but I omitted it. This was plenty filling and I didn't miss the sausage at all. I also didn't add extra cheese to the top and broil it. It was also easy to put together. I got up around 9, did all the prep work and popped it into the oven. Then, Mike, Shellie and I went out to take pics and came back about 15 minutes later to a finished dish!
