Flavorful veggies form the foundation for this side dish that I like to serve with beef and chicken. You could use this as an appetizer, too.

Ingredients

1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
2 tablespoons canola oil
1-1/2 cups chopped zucchini
1 package (9 ounces) frozen cut green beans, thawed
1 large onion, chopped
1/4 cup water
1 garlic clove, minced
1-1/2 teaspoons dried basil
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Paprika

Directions

In a large skillet, saute spinach in oil for 2 minutes. Stir in the zucchini, beans, onion, water, garlic, basil, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat.
In a small bowl, add eggs; gradually stir in 1-1/2 cups hot vegetable mixture. Return all to pan and mix well. Transfer to a greased 11x7-in. baking dish.
Place in a 13x9-in. baking dish; fill the larger dish with hot water to a depth of 1 in. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Sprinkle with cheese and paprika. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
