Ingredients You’ll Need

For this easy spinach feta casserole, keep it simple. Here’s what you’ll need:

• 8 large eggs
• 1 cup milk (or any milk alternative)
• 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 cup crumbled feta
• ½ cup diced onion
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Optional: A pinch of nutmeg for warmth, or some chopped fresh dill for extra Greek flair.

Step-by-Step Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish lightly with olive oil.
2. Sauté the aromatics. In a small pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cooking until fragrant and soft—about 3–4 minutes.
3. Wilt the spinach. Toss the chopped spinach into the pan. Cook until just wilted, then remove from heat.
4. Whisk the eggs. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper.
5. Combine ingredients. Stir the sautéed spinach and onions into the eggs. Fold in the crumbled feta.
6. Bake. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is lightly golden.
7. Serve warm. Cut into squares, serve with fresh herbs or a light salad.

Tips for the Perfect Spinach Casserole With Feta

• Use fresh spinach. Frozen can work, but squeeze out excess water to avoid a watery bake.
• Don’t overbake. The eggs will continue to cook a little after you remove them from the oven.
• Make it colorful. Add diced red bell peppers or cherry tomatoes for visual appeal and extra flavor.
• Add protein. Mix in cooked bacon, ham, or sausage for a heartier meal.

Variations You’ll Love

The beauty of this feta spinach recipe is its flexibility:

• Greek Style: Add kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and a sprinkle of oregano.
