If you're going to eat Spinach, in my opinion, the only acceptable way to do so is in a quiche.
If you want a lower fat recipe, you can substitute:
- Milk with skimmed milk
- Cheese with low fat cheese
- Ham instead of bacon
- Cream with creme fraiche
You can also trivially make your own pastry for this if you're willing to spend a little extra time

- Place the bacon, onion and spinach into the flan case - distribute it reasonably evenly
- Add the grated cheese, distributing well across the case
