- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 10 oz fresh spinach
- 3 cups day-old bread cubes (1 inch)
- 5 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup milk (preferably whole)
- 4 oz grated sharp (or extra sharp!) white cheddar
- whole nutmeg, for fresh grating
- coarse salt and ground pepper
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add spinach and stir constantly until wilted. Press into a colander to remove as much liquid from the spinach as possible. Divide bread and spinach in four 8 oz ramekins or an 8 inch square baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and half of the cheese. Season with salt, pepper and freshly grated nutmeg to taste (a little nutmeg goes a long way- just a few passes over the grater will be fine). Divide egg mixture evenly among the dishes and top with the remaining cheese. Place dishes on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until set in the middle and golden on top, 20-25 minutes.
