Spinach and Cheese Casserole
This dish combines vibrant spinach with creamy cheese to create a mouthwatering casserole that can be served as a main course or a tasty side. Let’s dive into this delightful recipe!
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (optional for topping)
- Butter for greasing the baking dish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish with butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well to ensure that all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until smooth. Add this egg mixture to the spinach and cheese mixture, stirring gently until everything is mixed in evenly.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. If you like a crunchy topping, sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over the top.
- Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Serve warm as a main dish or side for your favorite protein — it pairs wonderfully with chicken or fish.
