13
1 tbsp butter
2 large garlic cloves, minced
284-g bag baby spinach, about 10 cups
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
8 eggs
2 cups grated swiss or gruyère
3 green onions, thinly sliced
Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Generously oil a 9-inch (23-cm) glass pie plate. Melt butter in a large frying pan set over medium-high heat. Add garlic and spinach. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Stir often until spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. In a large bowl, whisk eggs. Stir in cheese, onions and hot spinach. Pour into prepared pie plate, then stir to distribute ingredients evenly. Bake in centre of 350F (180C) oven until top is golden and puffy, 30 to 35 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature with your favourite salsa and a dollop of sour cream, if you like.
