Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Position a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Grease a 22x12 cm (9x5 in) nonstick loaf pan. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Place the beaten eggs and milk in a large bowl. Add the bread and stir.

  3. In a large skillet with high sides, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and cook until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the spinach in batches and cook until wilted, about 15 minutes. Drain in a colander. Gently press the spinach to remove excess liquid. Set aside and let cool slightly.
  4. Transfer the spinach mixture to a food processor and pulse until smooth. Add the spinach to the bowl with the bread mixture. Add 3/4 cup Parmesan, the remaining salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Process until smooth.
  5. Spread half the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Line the hard-boiled eggs on top of the spinach. Top with the remaining spinach mixture and press down gently.
  6. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese and bake for 1 hour. Let cool for 15 minutes, then run a thin metal spatula around the edges of the pan to loosen the loaf. Invert the loaf onto a cutting board, peel off the parchment paper, and slice the loaf.
