Cannelloni with Spinach
Here’s a dinner recipe idea that the whole family will love.
Ingredients
1 tbsp. butter
2 shallot onions, finely chopped
1 10 oz. pkg. frozen spinach, thawed and well drained
5 eggs
3/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
3 tsp. salt
8 cannelloni shells
3/4 cup milk
5 oz. Dofino Havarti cheese, shredded
Methods
Cook cannelloni shells according to package directions. Melt the butter and saute the onions, approximately 1 minute. Add spinach and saute an additional 3 minutes. In a large bowl mix half of the cheese, 3 eggs, basil and half of the salt. Add in spinach and onion mixture and blend well. Fill the cooked cannelloni shells with the mixture and put them in a single layer in a greased roasting pan. Whip 2 eggs, milk and the remaining salt and pour over the cannelloni. Bake on the middle rack of the oven at 350° F for about 30 minutes. Let sit for approximately 10 minutes, and then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

this looks and sounds delicious, but my only concern is that there will be a texture of scrambled eggs. one of my family members does not eat eggs (unless they are in baked items such as a cake, etc). i want this to be a hit, not a hideous experiment gone awry lol. any other comments out there? anyone tried this recipe yet? thanks all =]
