Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a small pie dish or ramekin with butter (from the 1 Tbsp).
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter (1 Tbsp). Add ground beef (4 oz) and cook for 3–4 minutes until browned. Add chopped spinach (½ cup) and sauté for an additional 2–3 minutes, until wilted. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs (3 large), heavy cream (2 Tbsp), garlic powder (¼ tsp), onion powder (¼ tsp), and shredded cheese (⅓ cup). Fold in the sautéed beef and spinach mixture.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish. Arrange halved cherry tomatoes (¼ cup) on top.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is just set and a knife inserted comes out clean.
Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Drizzle olive oil (1 tsp) over the top just before serving for extra healthy fat.
