- Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
5 oz. organic fresh spinach (4 cups packed)1-2 tsp. olive oil (depending on your pan)1 1/2 cups low-fat mozzarella (I used half low-fat mozzarella and half low-fat cheddar)1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions8 eggs, beaten1 tsp. all purpose seasoning salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 375F. Spray an 8 1/2 inch by 12 inch glass or crockery casserole dish with olive oil or nonstick spray.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add spinach all at once, and stir just until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes. Transfer spinach to the casserole dish, spreading it around so all the bottom of the dish is covered. Layer the grated cheese and sliced onions on top of the spinach.
Beat the eggs with the seasoning and salt and fresh ground pepper to taste. (I use only pepper.) Pour the egg mixture over the spinach/cheese combination, and then use a fork to gently "stir" so the eggs, spinach, and cheese are evenly combined.
Bake about 35 minutes or until the mixture is completely set and starting to lightly brown. Let cool about 5 minutes before cutting. (The egg bake will settle down some as it cools.) Serve hot.
This can be cut into individual servings to keep in the fridge and microwaved for a quick breakfast during the week. Don't microwave longer than 1-2 minutes or the eggs can get slightly rubbery.
