Brown onion

  3. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, for 3–5 minutes or until softened. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
  4. Squeeze excess moisture from spinach. Place spinach, onion mixture, ricotta and parmesan in a bowl. Whisk eggs and milk in a jug until combined. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
