Preparation
Heat a large sauté pan on medium heat. Add the spinach and water and cover with a lid until just wilted. Remove spinach to a strainer and cool. When cool enough to handle, press any excess moisture out of the spinach with a towel and reserve.
Heat a sauté pan on medium heat. Add the vegetable oil and then the onions. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, until caramelized. Add the mushrooms and cook until all of the moisture has evaporated and mushrooms are beginning to brown. Remove from the pan and reserve.
Heat oven to 325°F.
Mix eggs, cream, Swiss cheese, and scallions with the diced croissants. Add the wilted spinach, sautéed onions, and mushrooms and toss to combine.
Spoon mixture into a 10-inch round casserole dish or similarly sized baking dish and top with grated Parmesan. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 150°F.
