Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed
7 eggs
1 cup milk
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
4 ounces pancetta, diced
1 small onion, diced
1 pinch nutmeg
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and spray a 9 inch pie dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Squeeze all the water out of the frozen spinach and put the spinach in a large bowl. Put the shredded cheeses in the bowl, along with the nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Lightly beat the eggs and add the milk. Combine the egg-milk mixture with the spinach-cheese mixture.
  • Brown the pancetta cubes in a medium skillet. Drain the pancetta cubes on paper towel, then add to the bowl with the spinach and eggs.
  • Brown the onion in the drippings in the skillet used to cook the pancetta. Drain the onions on the paper towels and add to the spinach and eggs.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish, and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes before cutting into 6 wedges.
