Spinach Mushroom Casserole With Potato Purée

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cups mashed potatoes (you can use fresh or instant)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (your choice, but mozzarella or cheddar work great!)
  • 1 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (for that extra kick)
  • Fresh herbs (like parsley or thyme) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will get our casserole nice and toasty.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, and sauté until they’re translucent and fragrant.
  3. Next, toss in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they soften up, about 5-7 minutes. Then, add the chopped spinach and let it wilt down. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  4. While that’s cooking, prepare your mashed potatoes if you haven’t done so already. Mix them with a splash of milk until they’re creamy.
  5. In a baking dish, layer the spinach and mushroom mixture first, spreading it out evenly. Then pour the mashed potatoes on top, smoothing it out.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the mashed potatoes, covering it generously.
  7. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
  8. Once it’s done, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs for a pop of color and flavor.
