Print Recipe

A comforting and nutritious spinach casserole baked to creamy perfection, perfect as a side or vegetarian main dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb fresh spinach (or 10 oz frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. If using fresh spinach, rinse and sauté it in olive oil until wilted; drain excess liquid. If using frozen spinach, ensure it is well-drained.
  3. In a skillet, sauté onion and garlic in olive oil until soft and translucent; let cool slightly.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the spinach, sautéed onion and garlic, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, sour cream, eggs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well until fully incorporated.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a greased 8×8 inch baking dish and spread evenly.
  6. Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly on top if using for a crunchy crust.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown.
  8. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, try mixing in cooked mushrooms or substituting cheddar with Gruyère cheese. Serve warm alongside roasted chicken or as a hearty vegetarian main.
