This is a recipe that I got from Martha Stewart’s website and it is fantastic! I actually used goat cheese in place of Gruyere cheese and I think it turned out even better. (I mean really, who doesn’t like goat’s cheese?) It was also super easy to make with all of the ingredients being already chopped up, all you have to do is mix it up! And it makes a lot too. From this recipe, I got two of the dishes that are in the pic. And I’m a huge fan of anything that you can store for baking later!
Ingredients:
Butter, for baking dish
3 packages frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 1/2 cups half and half
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups Gruyere cheese
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Directions:
1.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter a shallow 1-quart baking dish.
2.) In a large bowl combine spinach, half and half, eggs, 1 cup of cheese, 2 teaspoons salt, 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg and pepper; stir to combine. Spread evenly in prepared baking dish and top with remaining cheese. Bake until set and top is golden brown, about 30 – 35 minutes. These can be prepared one day in advance and placed in the fridge. When ready to serve, take them out of the fridge and bring them up to room temperature and baking.
3.) Serve and enjoy!
