Is this a deep dish pie shell?
Hi Beth
It calls for 4 eggs and 1 1/2 cups of cream so I think if you use a fairly roomy pie plate you will be fine. If you are using the small crusts that you buy in foil plates, you may want to buy the deep dish. I hope that helps.
Karen
how much is one “package of spinach” ?
Good question. This recipe calls for the small boxes of frozen spinach. I think they may be about 10 ounces.
