1 ball (340 g) Tre Stelle® Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
1/2 cup (125 mL) Tre Stelle® Grated Romano Cheese
2 cups (500 mL) table cream
4 eggs
1 tsp each (5 mL) salt and ground black pepper
1/2 tsp (2 mL) nutmeg
2 tbsp (30 mL) butter
1/2 cup (125 mL) spring onions, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced

Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC).

In a large skillet, add butter and melt over medium heat; add onions, garlic and mushrooms; cook until mushrooms begin to dry. Add spinach, parsley and savoury. Cook on medium-high heat just until spinach begins to wilt. Remove from heat. Carefully pour into rice/cheese mixture and stir until combined.
