Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Blend spinach, mozzarella cheese, and dried basil in a food processor.
Stir in egg beaters.
Spread mixture on parchment paper.
Tip: I laid another piece of parchment paper over the mixture to flatten it out. Then slowly lifted the parchment paper.

Bake for an additional 5 more minutes or until cheese has melted.
