So delicious! I get asked for the recipe every time I make it!<br/><br/>Variations: 1/2 t. onion powder instead of onions; 1/4 t. nutmeg, and 4 eggs instead of 3.

This turned out good. I liked this because of the easy crust. I didn't have a deep-dish pan, so I used a square 8-in pan and pressed the crust just on the bottom, then I doubled the egg mixture and baked about 20 - 25 extra minutes. I also used fresh spinach since I had it on hand, and I didn't precook it at all.
