- ½ cup frozen or fresh diced onion
- 1 clove garlic minced

- 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.
