ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 large onions, chopped
- 1⁄4 cup flour
- 1⁄4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups milk
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 3 lbs frozen chopped spinach, defrosted (5 10-ounce packages)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

- Squeeze as much liquid as possible from the spinach and add the spinach to the sauce; add 1/2 cup each of the Parmesan, Gruyere and cheddar cheeses and all of the feta and mix well; season, to taste, with salt and pepper (you may need little to no salt).
- Transfer the spinach to a buttered 13 x 9 inch glass baking dish; toss the remaining cheeses with the breadcrumbs and sprinkle on top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until hot and bubbly; serve hot.
- Note: This dish can be made one or two days ahead and refrigerated, unbaked, then baked right before serving; bring to room temp before baking.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
