Preheat oven to 315. Sprat a 1 1/2 quart casserole with cooking spray.

In a skillet, saute the onion in 1 tbsp butter until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Add onion to the spinach.

In the same skillet, melt remaining butter and whisk in the flour and seasonings. Stir until smooth. Slowly add milk and continue stirring until mixture thickens, 3-5 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in cheeses until melted and mixture is smooth. Pour sauce over the spinach in the mixing bowl. Add eggs and stir well.

Pour the mixture into the casserole. Place casserole into a larger casserole and filled with 1 inch water (a hot water bath) and bake for 45 minutes.
