In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil and add the garlic and onions. Sauté for about 5 minutes on medium high heat.  Then add the diced red pepper, dry basil and a half teaspoon of salt.  Stir and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in thawed and drained chopped spinach.  Let the mixture cool.  In a large bowl, beat 8 large eggs with 2 cups of milk.
