Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). I like to sauté the onions and garlic in a bit of olive oil until they’re translucent and fragrant. It fills my kitchen with the most wonderful aroma! Then, I add the chopped spinach, cooking it just until wilted. After that, let the mixture cool slightly while you whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl. This is where the magic begins as the creamy base comes together beautifully. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
