No Crust Spinach Pie

This weekend has finally been a weekend to stick around the house and it has been great!! We worked around the house all day yesterday, but I took some time to go in and make The Dish Washer a good lunch that we enjoyed on the porch since he was working so hard.

No Crust Spinach Pie

1 Tbsp. vegetable oil

1 onion, chopped

1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen spinach, thawed and drained

5 eggs, beaten

3 c. shredded swiss cheese

1/4 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. pepper

Preheat oven to 350. Spray Pam in a 9 inch pie pan. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft. (I LOVE carmelized onions, so I let mine go until they were browning!) Stir in spinach and continue cooking until excess moisture has evaporated.

In a large bowl, combine eggs, cheese, salt and pepper. Add spinach mixture and stir to blend. Scoop into prepared pie pan. Bake in preheated oven until eggs have set, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

I served it with a slice of ham, which seemed to do the trick, because I think the recipe could use more salt. But instead of adding more salt, I will just add the diced ham to the recipe next time. (Probably about 1 c. diced ham will do the trick!)

We had it for lunch, but it would make a good breakfast too!

10/19 update - I made it tonight with cheddar cheese and added 1/2 tsp. salt instead of 1/4 tsp. I like it much better with cheddar cheese!
