Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F. Prepare a casserole dish by spraying with cooking spray.

In a nonstick frying pan, heat the olive oil, and sauté the onion for 2 minutes. Add the spinach, and stir for 2 minutes, until the spinach wilts. Spread the spinach mixture in the bottom of the casserole dish.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Then, stir in all of the remaining ingredients. Pour the mixture into the casserole dish. With a fork, stir gently, here and there, to bring some of the spinach to the surface.

Bake for 35 minutes, until the casserole is lightly browned and a bit puffy. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before eating.

Can be made up to one day ahead. Cool, cover and refrigerate. To reheat, uncover and place in a 350°F oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Or, cut into individual portions and reheat in the microwave.
