Here’s a recipe perfect with chèvre, courtesy of Relish Executive Chef Jon Ashton. You can prepare it the night before and pop in the oven in the morning or let stand a couple hours and bake. It’s also great for dinner with a big green salad. ===Ingredients=== * 1 (10-ounce) package frozen spinach, thawed * 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil * 1 large onion, finely chopped * ½ teaspoon salt, divided * Coarsely ground black pepper * ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg * 8 cups cubed rustic bread, such as ciabatta (about a 1-pound loaf) * 1 cup (6 ounces) crumbled goat cheese * 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese * 2¾ cups 2% reduced-fat milk * 8 eggs * 1 to 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard * 2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary * 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried ===Instructions=== - Place thawed spinach in colander and squeeze out excess water.
