Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (100g) shredded cheese (such as cheddar or Swiss)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.
  2. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until it resembles coarse crumbs.

  6. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  7. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent (about 3-5 minutes).

  9. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until smooth.
  10. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit the pie dish.
  11. Transfer the dough to the pie dish and trim the edges.
  12. Spread the sautéed spinach and onion evenly over the crust.
  13. Pour the egg mixture over the filling and sprinkle with cheese.
