Spinach Flan - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3/4 lb Baby Spinach, washed well, blanched and squeezed of excess liquid
    1 cup parsley
    2 cups milk
    1/3 cup goat cheese, at room temperature
    2 eggs
    2 teaspoons kosher salt
    1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
    1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    3 ounces extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
    In a blender, add spinach, parsley, milk, goat cheese, eggs, nutmeg, salt and pepper, and blend until smooth. Pour evenly between 3-ounce ramekins (small souffle dishes) that have been sprayed lightly with EVOO (or non-stick cooking spray). Place ramekins in a large casserole dish. Slowly add boiling water in one corner, being careful not to spill water into ramekins, until half-way up the sides of the ramekins.
    Carefully place into oven and cook until the sides are firm and a little wobble remains in the middle of each ramekin.
    Remove from oven; remove each ramekin from water bath and let cool on cooling rack. When cool, run a sharp knife down the sides of each ramekin and invert onto a warm plate. Serve with the mixed herb salad, a drizzle of EVOO, and a few strips of parmesan.
    Herb Salad Garnish.
    1/4 cup fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley.
    1/4 cup fresh tarragon.
    1/4 cup fresh basil
    1/2 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice.
    1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil (EVOO).
    Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
    Combine all ingredients in a large salad bowl. Toss. Enjoy!
