Heat the butter in a pan and sauté the onion and garlic until translucent. Add the fresh or defrosted frozen spinach. Sauté briefly until it collapses. Put everything in a sieve to drain and squeeze out well. (the spinach must be very dry) Chop the oregano leaves, add the soaked bread, grated parmesan and oregano to the spinach. Knead everything with your hands. Season with salt, pepper and grated nutmeg.
