Peppery Spinach with Nutmeg Cream

Serves 4

Infusing freshly ground nutmeg into the milk makes every bite of this dish rich and delicious. Serve as a main course with seasoned rice or couscous, or as a side dish. Feel free to substitute allspice as well—just reduce the amount to 1 teaspoon.
  • 2 cups low-fat milk
  • 2 tsp. ground nutmeg
  • ¼ to ½ tsp. ground black pepper
  • 2 10-oz. pkgs. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat 4 12-oz. ramekins with cooking spray.
  2. Place milk, nutmeg, and pepper in saucepan, and season with salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer 10 to 12 minutes, or until volume has reduced by one-third, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, and cool 10 minutes.
  3. Stir in spinach, cottage cheese, and eggs. Spoon into prepared ramekins, and sprinkle each with 2 Tbs. breadcrumbs.
  4. Set ramekins in roasting pan, and fill pan one-third full with hot water. Bake 45 minutes, or until tops are browned.

It sounded good, it looked good, but that is an insane amount of nutmeg. My mouth actually went numb. I like nutmeg, but wow. If I made this again I'd drop the nutmeg down to around 1/2 teaspoon.
