½ cupgruyere cheese

¼ cupParmigiano Reggiano cheese

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place the spinach in a saucepan with 1/2 cup water. Cover with a lid and allow to steam over high heat for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain, squeezing out excess water.

Step 2

Heat a sauté pan to medium-hot, add the olive oil, and then the onion and cook, stirring briefly; after 1 minute, add the mushrooms and continue cooking for 3-4 minutes, until the onion is translucent and the mushrooms have softened. Add the salt, garlic, and herbs, and heat 1 minute more, then remove from heat.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk, then add the cheese, spinach, and onion mushroom mixture.

Step 4

Grease a pie pan with a bit of the olive oil, then pour in the egg and vegetable mixture. Sprinkle the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese over the top.

Step 5

Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until it has the texture of custard-trembling and barely set in the middle. (If you'd like the top crust golden, place in the broiler for the last couple minutes of baking, but don't overbake, or it will be tough.)
