Spinach Cheese Pie

For a simple Sunday supper, try this nutritious and delicious Spinach
Cheese Pie. You can have the pie in the oven within a few minutes, then
be free to do something else while it bakes to perfection.

The secret to this pie is the freshly grated nutmeg. It really makes it zing!
So don’t substitute ground nutmeg from a spice tin – get a whole nutmeg
and grate a little of it yourself for this dish!
