--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2 1/2   tb           Flour
   1       tb           Butter
     1/2   c            Onion -- mince
   4       oz           Spinach
     1/4   ts           Nutmeg
     1/2   c            Evaporated skim milk
   2       lg           Eggs -- room temperature,
                        - separate

  Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray four 6 oz custard cups with nonstick
  cooking spray. Using a total of 1/2 ts flour, dust cups evenly; set
  aside. In medium nonstick saucepan, over medium heat, melt butter.
  Add onion; saute 5 minutes, until tender. Whisk in remaining flour;
  cook, stirring milk; continue cooking, stirring constantly, about
  3 minutes, until thick. In small bowl, beat egg yolks; stir in 2 tb
  hot milk mixture. Return all to pan and cook at least 30 seconds.
  Remove from heat; stir in spinach and nutmeg. Scrape into large
  bowl; cover and set aside. In small bowl, with electric mixer on
  high speed, beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Stir 1/4th of
  the whites into spinach mixture to lighten; fold in remaining
  whites until no white streaks remain. Spoon evenly into cups.
  Smooth tops and place cups on baking sheet. Bake 15 to 20 minutes,
  or until browned.
