Directions

Sautee chopped onion in 2TBSP butter with .5 tsp cayenne pepper until onions are translucent. Add spinach and cook for three minutes. Mix chicken (leftover baked chicken works beautifully), spinach-onion mix, and spices in a large bowl and refrigerate for two hours (you can skip this step, but I like the flavors to marinate a bit). Beat eggs and milk together. Add egg-milk mixture and 2 c. cheese into the large bowl from the refrigerator and mix well. Pour into a large casserole dish that has been coated with cooking spray. Top with remaining cheese and bake at 350 for 30-45 min until hot and bubbly.
