Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 cups fresh baby spinach
- 1 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk
- 0.5 cup nutritional yeast
- 6 large eggs
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring until each batch wilts down before adding more, about 3-4 minutes total.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, and ground nutmeg until fully combined.
Stir the wilted spinach and onion mixture into the egg mixture, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with a bit of olive oil, then pour the spinach and egg mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned and the center is set.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
