Spinach Egg Casserole

Thanks to Jessica A. for providing this one!

Makes an 8 x 11 pan
 
1/2 c finely chopped onions and peppers
3 oz sliced baby swiss, torn or shredded
1 lg bunch fresh spinach, rinsed, dried and coarsely chopped
1/4 c chopped fresh parsley
1 tomato, finely chopped
salt, pepper to taste
parmesan cheese, for topping
3/4 c kefir, cream, half and half, or whole milk
16 med/lg eggs, beaten
 
Layer in a greased pan, onion mixture, then swiss cheese, then pile on the spinach, parsley and tomato.  Mix together the cream and eggs and pour over all, pushing the spinach down with a fork so it is mostly submerged.  Salt and pepper the top, and top with good quality parmesan.  Bake at 375 until set in the middle - about 45 minutes.  This one was amazing and soooo healthy and used up some not so fresh spinach beautifully.
