How to Make Mushroom Florentine

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Add 1 pound of sliced cremini mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened and lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Stir in 10 ounces of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until heated through.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the egg mixture over the mushroom and spinach mixture in the skillet. Stir gently to combine.
Sprinkle with an additional 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the custard is set and golden brown.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
