Here you go, Meg!

1 9-inch frozen pie shell
1 tsp olive oil
2 cups diced onion
1 cup reduced fat milk
3 large eggs
1 cup gruyere cheese, shredded
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 10-oz package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and water squeezed out

Bake pie shell according to package instructions.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet. Add onions and saute on medium-high for 10 minutes, until they're caramelized. Remove. Let cool slightly.
Whisk milk, eggs, cheese, garlic powder, worchestershire sauce, salt & pepper. Add onions and spinach.
Pour egg mixture into cooled pie shell and bake 45 minutes in a 350 degree oven until an inserted knife comes out clean.

Serve warm or at room temperature. Leftovers will keep refrigerated for 2-3 days.

Sounds so fancy, but looks so simple! I'm impressed, Kristin! Thanks for sharing the recipe, I'm going to have to try it. What did you serve with it?

I hope you do all try it!

Nifer - I served it with glazed carrots. Really simple, too: Just add a bag of frozen carrots to a tall sided frying pan with 1/2 cup water and 3 tbsps of brown sugar. Bring to a boil for about 5 minutes and then simmer until carrots are tender and sauce thickens. Very tasty!

I actually was peaking around on the Internet for a recipe like this after you told me about it! Glad to see you shared it here. I bet if you added mushrooms or artichokes that it would be good too. can you tell I'm inspired by your food posts? I have a problem.
