List of Ingredients



• 2 tablespoons onion, chopped
  
• 3 tablespoons butter, divided
  
• 1 pkg. frozen spinach, thawed
  
• 3 eggs
  
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  
• pepper and salt to taste
  
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  
• 1 1/2 cups Swiss cheese, shredded and divided
  
• nonstick spray
  






Instructions



1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 9 inch pie or quiche pan with nonstick spray.
   
2. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and saute for a few minutes until they begin to get limp. Squeeze extra water out of spinach and add the spinach to the onions in the skillet. Continue cooking until the spinach is heated through and the extra water has evaporated.
   
3. Beat the eggs lightly. Add the cream, salt, pepper, nutmeg and 1 cup of the shredded Swiss cheese. Whisk to blend the ingredients thoroughly.
   
4. Add the spinach/onion mixture and stir to combine. Pour the entire mixture into the pie plate. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded Swiss Cheese, dot with remaining 1 tablespoon butter.
   
5. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 30 minutes, or until the quiche is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
