Baked Spinach-Stuffed Shells : The Stuffing

Ingredients

spinach
1 small red onion (diced)
pine nuts
2 eggs
salt
pepper

grated mozzarella
grated parmigiano-reggiano

Recipe

You need to blanch the spinach in boiling water for 30 seconds. Drain. Squeeze until it can be squeezed no more. Chop. Or thaw frozen if y'all are boring. Which some of you are. The CC won't mention who.

Y'all are all experts so this is after the first three steps.

Fry the onion. What temperature? Medium low. Yep, y'all are experts. Then the salt and peppper, then the pine nuts.

Then the spinach. You're frying so there should be no water in the spinach. That's where the squeezing until you can squeeze no more comes in handy.

The mixture of cheeses (just to show.)

Wait for the spinach stuff to cool, add it to the cheese, crack open two eggs, and mix the whole thing together.

uh... and then what? Since you call it stuffing for baked spinach stuffed shells, I presume this is stuffed into shells and baked, but it might be helpful to know some more details.
