SPINACH MELT 
1 lb. fresh spinach, steamed & rinsed or, 1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen chopped spinach, thawed & squeezed dry
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 med. onion, thinly sliced
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground white pepper (optional)
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg (optional)
4 oz. Swiss cheese, shredded or sliced

If using fresh spinach, place in a 3-quart casserole without drying it. Cover lightly with a lid or vented plastic wrap and microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes. Drain immediately. Cool. Squeeze dry and coarsely chop. In a 2-quart glass baking dish combine the olive oil and onion. Microwave on HIGH 4 to 6 minutes, or until the onion is just tender, stirring once or twice. Add the spinach, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Stir thoroughly to coat with oil and to break up the mixture a bit.

Microwave on HIGH 2 to 4 minutes, or until spinach is tender and mixture is heated through. Top with cheese and microwave just until cheese melts.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
