• Lay the flour tortilla in a glass pie dish, press gently - does not need to lay perfectly flat against dish. I don't spray it prior and have never had any issues with it sticking. Especially when made using a glass pie pan.
• Sprinkle only 1/2 cup cheese on tortilla.
• Sprinkle remaining cheese and the spinach onto tortilla in layers, and press gently. I don't chop or tear the spinach but you might opt to do this.
• Pour egg mixture evenly over spinach, be careful not to pour any outside of tortilla as this causes it to stick to pan.

• Other options: Instead of garlic, you can use 1/4 cup onions. For added flavor, serve with homemade salsa.
