Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Gradually add the spinach to the skillet, stirring occasionally, until it wilts down completely. This should take about 3-4 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg if using, until well combined.
Spread the spinach mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes over the spinach.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the egg mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the bake cool for 5 minutes before slicing into portions. Serve warm and enjoy!
