1/2 tsp. dried basil
3 Tbsp. whole wheat flour
1/2 c. grated cheddar cheese
1/2 c. parmesan cheese

Line pan with pastry. Saute seasonings with onions, parsley and spinach in 1/2 Tbsp. olive oil. Combine onion/spinach mixture with cheeses, eggs, flour and nutmeg; mix well and fill pastry-lined pie pan. Top with sour cream, spreading to edges of pan. Sprinkle with paprika. Bake at 375* for 35-40 minutes, or until set and firm. Cool on wire rack for 15 minutes before serving. (Yields 4-6 servings)
