Not sure where I got this, but it's a favorite. Slightly different from other versions on this site - most notably the excellent addition of nutmeg!
Ingredients:
2 cups spinach, chopped, cooked, cooled and squeezed dry
2 cups onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
4 eggs, beaten
1 deep dish pie shell, unbaked
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon parmesan cheese
Directions:
1. On medium heat, sauté onions in butter for 3-5 minutes, stirring often until carmelized.
2. In a medium bowl, blend ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, nutmeg, eggs, onions and spinach. Pour into pie shell. Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp paprika and 1 tsp Parmesan cheese. Bake at 375° for 20 minutes. Lower temperature to 350° and bake 10-15 minutes longer. Cool 3 minutes. Cut into 4-6 portions. Serve with Caesar salad.
