Ingredients 

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

  • 5 ounces baby spinach, coarsely chopped
  • 3 large eggs or 3/4 cup egg substitute
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1 1/2 cups 2% milk
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3/4 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent and starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and cook, stirring constantly, until wilted, about a minute. Let cool.
