• 1/2 cup frozen or fresh diced onion
• 1 clove garlic minced
• 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms

• Combine eggs, milk and nutmeg in a separate bowl, set aside.
• Sprinkle cheese into prepared crust then top with spinach mixture. Arrange sliced tomatoes over the top then pour egg mixture over all. Sprinkle with salt & pepper to taste.
