Directions: |
Directions:Melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat....
Add 1/2 spinach and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes...
Add remaining spinach, nutmeg, 1 t salt and pinch of black pepper...
Cook all until all spinach is wilted, about 3 more minutes...
Drain spinach in a colander and let it cool...
Once cooled, squeeze it to get as much water out as you can...
Now chop the spinach...
Butter a 9 by 13 baking dish...whisk the eggs, milk, lemon zest,1 t salt and a pinch of pepper in a large bowl...
Arrange 1/2 of the quartered muffins in the prepared baking dish, top with 1/2 each of the chopped spinach, chopped scallions and cheese...
Now repeat, rest of muffins, rest of spinach, rest of scallions and rest of cheese...
Pour the egg mixture into the casserole and press down on the mixture to be sure the muffins are submerged...
Cover casserole with foil and refrigerate at least 3 hours but over night is preferred... I airways refrigerate overnight!
Remove casserole 30 minutes prior to baking in oven...
Preheat oven to 375 degrees, put covered casserole in until the eggs are just set, about 35 minutes, remove foil and cook for another 20 minutes or until top is browned well...
Let cool 10 minutes and serve...
Be sure to have a dollop of the creme friche on each piece...
I would ask or just pass the creme friche to each person...
Enjoy! |
