Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter, unsalted
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 6 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1.5 cups Swiss cheese, shredded
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.125 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 9-inch pre-made pie crust

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.

Step 5

Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges and crimp the edges decoratively, if desired.

Step 6

Spread the cooked spinach and onion mixture evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese on top of the spinach mixture.

Step 8

Carefully pour the egg mixture over the spinach and cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Step 9

Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any spills, then transfer to the preheated oven.

Step 10

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 11

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
