3 cups fresh chopped spinach
4 eggs
1 small can of sliced black olives
one onion, chopped
chopped garlic to taste (I used about half tsp)
1 cup milk
1 package of cream cheese
About half a cup of Parmesan cheese
some shredded jack and cheddar cheeses (I used about half a cup
If possible some chopped cooked bacon. (I used 2 strips)
Separate eggs in 2 different bowls, one with the whites and one with the yolks.
Put the chopped onion and garlic in a hot pan with a little olive oil, once cooked a little, add the spinach and the olives, let it cook in low heat while you heat the oven to 350 degrees and go back to the eggs.
Beat the egg whites until they are very thick and form peaks, then set aside.
Beat the yolks, the milk, cream cheese and Parmesan cheese with a mixer.
Use spices both in the pan and in the bowl. I used Basil (about one teaspoon) some fresh thyme, about 4 leaves chopped, some salt and pepper and some Mediterranean spices (McCormick) to even it out.
Once the spinach is soft let it cool a little. Then quickly mix it into the yolk mixture, add the bacon bits and then add the egg whites and fold them in carefully but quickly.
Place in a large pie pan (or a pyrex). Top with the shredded cheese and bake in the oven for about 30 to 40 minutes. I also put sliced tomatoes on top to make it pretty. Keep an eye on it !
When the top is golden and you move it a bit and it doesn't wobble much anymore, it's ready.
When it's done let it set for about 15 minutes.
