BAKED OMELET WITH ONION, SPINACH, AND SWISS CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly coat an 8-inch square baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
• Beat the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well combined. Peel the onion and cut into 1/4-inch pieces. Spread the onion, spinach, and Swiss cheese evenly in the pan, then pour in the egg mixture. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
• food for thought
• Spinach is an excellent source of iron, calcium, chlorophyll, beta-carotene, vitamin C, riboflavin, sodium, and potassium. But keep in mind that fresh spinach loses much of its nutritional value if it's stored more than a few days. Refrigeration slows the effect somewhat, but it is best to use fresh spinach within a couple of days of buying it. Freezing spinach prevents the loss of most of its nutritional value, so frozen spinach is a great choice, too.
