Wow!! This was amazing, though I did flub it a bit. I had some fresh spinach to use up, so I used 2 big bags of fresh. It came out a tad runny, and I'm guessing that's why. Also, I forgot to buy the french fried onions. I imagine that would have taken this from awesome to heavenly!!! Lastly, I have a 3 and 5 year old, so I cut the pepper flakes to 1 tsp. This still gave it some bite, but tame enough for my little ones to still eat it. I might even take it to 1/2 tsp next time. Last, I was nervous about a full tsp of nutmeg. Don't skip, it's not overpowering at all. We will be making this often!!

Loved this dish. So easy. I also only used 1tsp. of chili flakes and it still had plenty of kick. It's rich, but I will be making this as often as possible.
