Scale
- 6 large Eggs
- 2 cups Fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- to taste Salt and pepper
- a pinch Nutmeg, optional for added flavor
- for garnish Cherry tomatoes, optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

- In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well-combined. Stir in the sautéed spinach mixture and shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Grease a baking dish with a little olive oil or butter. Pour the egg mixture into the dish, distributing the spinach and cheese evenly.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and lightly golden on top.
- Allow it to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm, garnished with cherry tomatoes or fresh herbs if desired.
