Directions
  • Preheat oven to 350º F.
  • Mix together corn meal and butter until it has a crumb type
    appearance (This can be done in a food processor, if one is available). Blend in seasoning. Add
    water and beaten egg and combine. If the mixture is too crumbly, add a few drops of water.
  • Pat
    mixture into bottom of pan and up the sides or use a small pastry rolling pin to even out and
    press excess up sides. The crust should be thin.

    10 minutes before adding filling. Fill bottom of crust with spinach, ham, cheese and onion.
  • In
    a small bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and mustard. Pour over meat mixture.
  • Bake 55 to 60
    minutes, or until set in center. Serve warm. Garnish as desired.

    TIP: If crust is too plain, add minced green onion, garlic, fresh herbs, and seasonings.
