2 large bunches of spinach
3 tablespoons oil
1 onion, chopped
1 cup grated Swiss cheese
2 eggs
1 1/4 cups light cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 cup soft cream cheese
6 ounces feta cheese, grated or crumbled

Steps:

Crust: Cut margarine into matzo meal until it is in pieces the size of peas. Add sugar. Beat egg and blend into mixture with a fork; add nuts. Form into a ball. Flatten into greased, 10-inch deep-dish pie pan, building up sides. Prick with a fork. Bake in preheated 400° oven for 7 minutes. Cool thoroughly before filling. Filling: Wash and stem spinach; steam until wilted. Squeeze out excess water; chop. Heat oil; sauté onion until golden. Remove from heat, mix with spinach and add Swiss cheese. In a blender or with a whisk, mix eggs, cream, and seasonings with cream cheese. Spread spinach and onion mixture in Crust. Top with feta cheese. Pour cream cheese mixture on top, making sure it soaks through to the Crust. Bake in preheated 350° oven for 40-45 minutes. If Crust edges begin to burn, cover them with foil. Good hot or at room temperature.
