Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 4 cups fresh spinach, chopped (or 2 cups frozen spinach, thawed and drained)
Cheeses
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Wet Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
Seasoning
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare it for baking the casserole evenly.
- Mix Egg and Seasonings: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until fully combined and smooth.
- Add Spinach and Cheese: Stir in the chopped fresh spinach (or thawed and drained frozen spinach), crumbled feta cheese, and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese into the egg mixture, ensuring an even distribution.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking, then pour the mixture into the dish evenly.
- Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the casserole mixture.
- Bake Casserole: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set, firm to the touch, and the top is golden brown and slightly bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Using fresh spinach gives a brighter flavor, but frozen spinach works well if thawed and drained properly to avoid excess moisture.
- For a lower fat option, you can substitute half-and-half for heavy cream, though the texture will be slightly lighter.
- Feel free to add other herbs like dill or basil for additional flavor variations.
- This casserole can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
- Ensure eggs are fully cooked through to maintain food safety.
