Spinach and Smoked Gouda Quiche (without crust)

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
• 4 tbsp. l. freshly grated parmesan
• 1 package (280 g) frozen spinach, thawed
• 2 large eggs
• 2 large egg yolks
• 2 cups light cream
• 110 gr. grated smoked gouda, about 1 tbsp.
• 2 tbsp. flour
• A large pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
• 3/4 cup chopped, trimmed green onions, white and green parts included, about 8 greens
• 1 teaspoon paprika

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease a 22cm glass or ceramic pie dish with softened butter and sprinkle with half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Place the dish on a baking sheet.
2. Working in batches, squeeze the spinach by hand to remove excess water. Place it in a food processor along with the eggs, yolks, cream, Gouda, flour, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to taste. Pulse until the mixture is evenly green and the spinach chunks are incorporated, about 30 seconds. Add the green onions and pulse to combine. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Top with the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan and paprika.
3. Place the baking sheet on the bottom rack of the oven and bake until the quiche is set in the center, about 40-45 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack and serve.
