Instructions

Step 1

Heat bacon in a 12” skillet over medium-high heat; cook until crisp, 12–15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Discard all but 2 tbsp. grease. Return pan to medium-high heat; cook onion until soft, 5–7 minutes. Stir in spinach; cook until wilted, 1–2 minutes; let cool.

Step 2

Heat oven to 400°. Whisk milk, eggs, salt, and pepper in a bowl; stir in reserved spinach mixture. Transfer to a 9" x 13" baking dish; sprinkle with reserved bacon. Dot with fromage blanc and sprinkle with cheddar; bake until golden brown and slightly puffed, about 35 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
