Ingredients
  

  • 1½ tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 Small Onion (minced)
  • 2¼ Cups Baby Spinach Leaves (give them a rough chop)
  • 6 Eggs
  • ¾ Cup Ricotta Cheese
  • 6 tablespoon Milk
  • ¾ teaspoon Salt
  • Ground Black Pepper (a dash)
  • 6 tablespoon Grated Parmesan

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease your ramekins with oil or butter. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté for about 3 minutes until soft and fragrant.
  • Add the fresh spinach to the skillet. Stir and cook for another 3 minutes until it wilts. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, ricotta cheese, milk, salt, and a dash of pepper until smooth and well combined.
  • Add the cooled spinach and onion mixture to the egg mixture. Stir everything together until evenly mixed.
  • Pour the mixture into the greased ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full to allow for a little rise. Sprinkle the tops with parmesan or cheddar cheese for extra flavor.
  • Place the filled ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tops turn golden brown.
  • Let the ramekins cool for a couple of minutes before handling them.
  • Serve warm, straight from the ramekins. Enjoy your delicious Spinach and Ricotta Bake!

Notes

Hint: Press out excess water from the spinach after wilting to prevent a watery bake!
Extra Flavor: Let onions caramelize for a richer taste.
Fluffier Bake: Whisk eggs well to incorporate air.
Perfect Texture: Drain spinach well to avoid excess moisture.
