*All Natural Original PAM No Stick Cooking Spray, 0.27 gram(s)
Croutons, New York Texas Toast Seasoned, 5 croutons, 3 serving (recipe calls for 1.5 tbsp of dry breadcrumbs, I used crushed croutons because that is what was available)

Parmesan Cheese, grated, 0.5 cup
Egg Yolk, 2 large

I used crushed croutons because I didn't have breadcrumbs.

1. Place baking sheet in oven. Preheat to 425 degrees.

2. Coat 4 (6 oz) ramekins with cooking spray and sprinkle evenly with breadcrumbs.

4. Combine egg whites and cream of tartar in a large bowl and let stand at room temp for 15 minutes.

5. Combine milk and flour, nutmeg, salt and pepper in small saucepan over med/high heat, stirring with whisk until smooth. Cook 2 minutes or until thick and bubbly, stirring constantly. Spoon mixture into a large bowl and let stand for 10 minutes. stir in spinach, cheese and egg yolks.

6. Beat egg whites with a mixer at high speed until peaks form (do not over beat). Gently stir one-quarter of egg whites into spinach mixture, gently fold in remaining egg whites.

7. Gently spoon mixture into prepared ramekins. Sharply tap dishes 2 or 3 times on counter to level. Place dishes on preheated baking sheet; return to oven.

8. Immediately reduce oven temp to 350 degrees.
