4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Melt the margarine in a heavy saucepan and add the thawed or fresh spinach to it. Saute for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Arrange the spinach in a well-buttered shallow baking dish. Put the eggs, Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, and salt and pepper in a blender and blend for 20 secons. Add the hot half and half and blend once more. Then pour the mixture over your spinach in the baking dish. Set the dish in a pan of hot water and bake for about 30 minutes or until the custard is almost firm and lightly browned. Serves about 6.
