• Transfer to a colander and press with the back of a spoon to get rid of the last bits of moisture.
• Brush 4 6-oz. ramekins with some olive oil and put them on a baking sheet.

SPINACH AND FETA PIE

Steps:

• Cook the spinach briefly - heat a large stock pot to high heat and add all your spinach plus a pat of butter to grease the bottom, and the spinach should wilt in about a minute. Cook only until just wilted. Drain the spinach and then actually squeeze it dry to get all excess water out. Then chop the spinach.
• Whisk together 12 eggs with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Set aside.
• Mince 6 strips of bacon, then fry in frying pan over medium heat until just about crisp. Drain off excess grease. Add in onions and cook until they are just starting to get soft.
• Add in spinach, then egg mixture, to the frying pan. Mix the eggs into the spinach so that the spinach is distributed evenly through the egg. Sprinkle 3 oz of feta over the top of the skillet. If you'd like, gently touch the feta with the tip of your spoon so that it goes slightly into the egg mixture, while still remaining on top.
• Bake at 350 degrees for approx 10 minutes You want the eggs to still look a little bit wet and soft in the middle. For me, 10 minutes was slightly too long. The next step is to put the eggs under the broiler for a minute or two, to let it get slightly golden brown at the top. The eggs will continue to cook from the heat in the pan even after you remove from the heat, so it is better to undercook and to allow the eggs to continue to set even after removed from the oven.
