I'm not sure if this is technically a frittata or not. I started out with a Cooking Light quiche recipe, realized I didn't have half of the ingredients needed, and this is what I ended up with.

I've also decided that I need to start cooking before 10pm so I can get natural light because my kitchen flourescents do nothing for this image.

Serves 6

1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained, and squeezed dry
1 clove garlic
2 tablespoons minced shallots
1 teaspoon dill
dash of freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 cup cream
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 large egg whites
2 large eggs
3/4 cup Caramelized Onions (about 3 cups uncooked)
1/3 cup italian sausage (175g)
1/4 cup (1 ounce) shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese

Combine the dill, nutmeg, garlic, spinach and shallots in a small bowl. Combine the cream and buttermilk, salt, pepper, egg whites, and eggs in a medium bowl, and stir well with a whisk. Stir 1/2 milk mixture into spinach mixture. Spoon the spinach mixture into bottom of pan.
Add caramelized onions, and top with sausage and cheese. Pour the remaining milk mixture over cheese.
Place pie plate on a baking sheet, and bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until set. Let stand 10 minutes.
