Tips & Variations

  • Use fresh spinach for a brighter flavor, but frozen works well if fresh is unavailable—just be sure to squeeze out excess water.
  • Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for a subtle kick.
  • Swap the feta for goat cheese if you prefer a creamier texture.
  • For extra protein, mix in cooked, chopped bacon or sausage.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 325°F (165°C) until warmed through, or microwave in short intervals to avoid drying out.

How to Serve

The dish is a baked casserole in a rectangular beige baking dish placed on a white marbled surface. It has a creamy, pale yellow base layer that looks fluffy and smooth, topped with scattered dark green spinach pieces throughout. On top of the spinach, there are white clumps of ricotta cheese spread evenly, adding a soft texture. The surface is sprinkled lightly with cracked black pepper, giving small dark specks across the dish. The casserole edges show a slight golden brown, indicating it is well baked. In the background, blurred items like fresh spinach leaves and a mushroom can be seen along with a white bowl. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
