Chef Johns Spinach and Feta Pie - butter

Method

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat butter in a large oven-safe skillet over high heat.
• Toss spinach in hot butter until wilted, about 30 seconds.
• Drain spinach well and squeeze it as dry as possible.
• Transfer to a cutting board and chop.
• Beat eggs in a bowl with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until thoroughly combined.
• Place bacon in the same skillet used to cook spinach and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until bacon has rendered its fat and is almost crisp, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Use a paper towel held in a tongs to remove excess bacon grease.
• Reduce heat to medium; saute onion with bacon and a pinch of salt until onion is translucent, about 5 more minutes.
• Saute chopped spinach with bacon and onion until spinach is hot; pour in eggs.
• Use a wooden spoon to distribute spinach evenly throughout the eggs.
• Sprinkle feta cheese over mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until eggs are set, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Top may still be a little wet.
• Turn on oven's broiler.
• Broil pie until top is lightly golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
