Notes
If you prefer a sharper flavor, substitute feta cheese for the goat cheese.
Frozen spinach can be used; defrost it and wring out any extra moisture before cooking.
If you like spicy foods, add some red pepper flakes.
For a meatier variation, add chopped cooked bacon or pancetta.
Serve with a simple green salad or baked potatoes for a complete supper.
