3 eggs

1/2 cup whipping cream

1/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese

1 tablespoon soft butter or margarine

 

Brush cooled pastry shell with mustard.  Saute green onions in butter.  Add spinach and stir over moderate heat to evaporate moisture.  Stir in salt, pepper, nutmeg, and ricotta.  Taste for seasoning.  Blend in eggs and cream.  Pour into pastry shell.  Sprinkle with cheese; dot with butter.  Bake at 375 deg. for 25 to 30 minutes or until set.
