Main Ingredients
  • 6 large Eggs
  • 2 cups Fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 medium Onion, diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • a pinch Nutmeg, optional for added flavor
  • for garnish Cherry tomatoes, optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Toss in the chopped spinach and cook for another 2-3 minutes until it wilts down. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg if using. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well-combined. Stir in the sautéed spinach mixture and shredded mozzarella cheese.
  5. Grease a baking dish with a little olive oil or butter. Pour the egg mixture into the dish, distributing the spinach and cheese evenly.
Baking
  1. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and lightly golden on top.
  2. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm, garnished with cherry tomatoes or fresh herbs if desired.
