• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoons Nutmeg, ground

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly and pat dry. Roughly chop the spinach leaves for easier incorporation in the dish.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until wilted and most of the moisture has evaporated. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until fully combined.

Step 6

Add the softened cream cheese to the egg mixture and whisk until smooth.

Step 7

Stir in the cooked spinach, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg. Mix everything until well combined.

Step 8

Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish or a similarly sized casserole dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.

Step 9

Pour the spinach mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the dish.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bake is set in the middle.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your low carb cheesy spinach bake!
