I do not enjoy winter. But! I do enjoy cooking winter comfort food. These were waiting for a Crustless Spinach Quiche last night:
Ingredients (for 6 servings)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 10-ounce package frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed to remove as much moisture as possible
- 5 eggs
- 3/4 lb. Muenster cheese (or Monterey Jack), grated
- salt and freshly ground pepper
Preheat oven to 350F, and butter a 9-inch pie plate.
Heat oil in skillet on medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until wilted. Add spinach; cook until excess moisture is evaporated. Let cool.
Beat eggs in a bowl. Add cheese. Stir in onion-spinach mixture, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Bake until top is nicely browned and tester comes out clean, 40-45 minutes.
