Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter, unsalted
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 6 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1.5 cups Swiss cheese, shredded
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.125 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 9-inch pre-made pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges and crimp the edges decoratively, if desired.
Spread the cooked spinach and onion mixture evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese on top of the spinach mixture.
Carefully pour the egg mixture over the spinach and cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any spills, then transfer to the preheated oven.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
