Bacon, Cheese and Spinach Casserole

Kids won’t eat spinach you say? Maybe they will try this. Me, I love everything about this!
Ingredients:
Cooking spray
5 slices bacon
¾ cup onion, chopped
4 eggs
1 cup milk
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
Pepper to taste
1 cup cubed firm, white bread (1 inch pieces)
1 ½ cups frozen spinach, thawed and thoroughly drained of excess moisture
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
½ cup grated parmesan cheese, divided

Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a casserole (1.5 or 2 quart size work great) with cooking spray. Cook bacon in a skillet until crisp. Remove, drain, crumble and set aside. Add the onions to the bacon drippings and cook about 5 minutes on medium or until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat.

In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, nutmeg, salt and together. Add the bread cubes, spinach, Swiss cheese and ¼ cup parmesan. Fold in the crumbled bacon and cooled onions. Pour the mix into your casserole, top with the remaining ¼ cup parmesan and bake for 45 minutes.
