Ingredients
12 ounces fresh spinach

- Briefly steam the spinach until wilted, and then drain well.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the onions and saute on low heat until soft and fragrant. Stir in the salt, pepper and nutmeg and turn off the heat. Stir in the wilted spinach and set aside to cool.
- Whisk together the milk, mustard and eggs in a large bowl. Add the cooled onion and spinach mixture and the cubed bread. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and preferably overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease jumbo muffins tins well.
