Check your local farmers' market for the freshest spinach. Squeezing the cooked spinach removes excess moisture. Ingredients:
cooking spray |
2 tablespoons dry breadcrumbs |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
10 ounce fresh spinach |
1 cup 1% low-fat milk |
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
1/3 cup (about 1 1/2 ounces) grated fresh parmigiano-reggiano cheese |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1/8 teaspoon grated whole nutmeg |
3 large egg whites |
1 large egg |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Lightly coat an 11 x 7-inch baking dish with cooking spray, and dust with breadcrumbs. Set aside.
3. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add garlic; cook 20 seconds, stirring constantly. Add spinach; cook 3 minutes or until spinach wilts, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; cool slightly. Place spinach mixture on several layers of heavy-duty paper towels, and squeeze until barely moist. Place spinach mixture in a blender. Add milk and cornstarch; process until smooth. Add cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg; pulse until well blended. Pour into a large bowl.
4. Place egg whites and egg in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at high speed 5 minutes or until tripled in volume. Gently fold one-fourth of egg mixture into spinach mixture; gently fold in remaining egg mixture (mixture will seem slightly thin). Spoon spinach-egg mixture into prepared baking dish; smooth top with a spatula.
5. Bake at 375° for 35 minutes or until set in the center. Cool 5 minutes on a wire rack before serving.
