When we make this and serve it, I feel like I'm eating at a fancy restuarant!  Treat yourself because it's actually super easy! 

I have put this recipe under spinach though you can use any cooked green or a combination based on what you have on hand including mustard greens, turnip greens, kale, swiss chard, etc.  Get creative!

3-4 TBLS cooking oil
½ cup minced leeks (cleaned) or onions
Optional herbs/spices like minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, etc.
1 cup of cooked greens (spinach or kale)
1-2 cups chopped boiled or roasted root veggies (carrots, potatoes, turnips, etc)
Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 pound spinach, rinsed well and chopped
1 tablespoon cooking oil
3/4 cup thinly sliced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
8 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons sun dried tomatoes or roasted red peppers (optional)
3-4 oz soft cheese like goat cheese or homemade kefir or yogurt cheese
salt and pepper to taste

I love this dish!  But, the paneer (Indian cheese that can be cubed and cooked) is hard to come by so I ususally make it without it and it's just as good. 

½ lb. spinach, washed
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tbls cream cheese
Pinch of ground nutmeg
Salt and pepper
¼ cup grated cheese (parmesan or cheddar, etc.)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Steam spinach in pot with no added water other than what’s on the wet leaves after washing, about 10 min. Drain and squeeze out water and add salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Place spinach in small greased casserole. Heat cream and cream cheese to boil. Pour over spinach. Top with grated cheese. Bake in oven for 20 min. Serves 2-4.
