Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
20 oz baby spinach, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons water
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups skim (fat-free) milk
1 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (1 1/2 oz)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Accompaniment: frico
Special Equipment
a 9- to 10-inch springform pan

Steps:

  • Cook onion in butter, covered, in a 6- to 8-quart heavy pot over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Add spinach and water and cook, covered, over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until just wilted, about 4 minutes. Drain in a large sieve set over a bowl, pressing on spinach. (Discard liquid.)
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly oil springform pan.
  • Whisk together eggs, milk, cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a large bowl, then stir in spinach.
  • Spoon into springform pan, spreading evenly, and bake until custard is set and no longer wet in center, 50 to 55 minutes. Cool 10 minutes in pan on a rack, then run a sharp knife around edge to loosen and remove side of pan. Cut into 8 wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my custard didn't turn out right. It was too runny and didn't have much flavor.
