Ingredients

    4 whole eggs
    1 egg yolk
    1/2 cup whole milk
    1/4 tsp salt
    1/4 tsp black pepper
    1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

    1 cup sauteed spinach
    1 cup sauteed mushrooms
    2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
    2 tbsp oil

Directions

Combine eggs, egg yolk, milk, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Whisk until well combined.

Sautee spinach (about 3 oz, or one large bag of fresh spinach) in oil with a sprinkling of salt, set aside on paper towels to drain off excess liquid. Sautee mushrooms in same pan, sprinkling with a pinch of salt, until well cooked and excess liquid has been cooked off. Squeeze spinach well between paper towels (be careful not to burn yourself!)

Place spinach, mushrooms, and cheese in an oiled pie pan, evenly distributed. Pour egg mixture over top. Push down any pieces of spinach, mushroom, or cheese that are sticking out above the surface.

Cook for 40-50 minutes, or until a knife stuck into the middle doesn't come out wet.

Serving Size: Makes four generous but low-calorie servings
