Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces fresh spinach
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch casserole dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the diced onion until it becomes soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted and most of the moisture has evaporated, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, beaten eggs, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.
Fold the cooked spinach mixture into the cheese mixture until evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the olive oil and mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling at the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Favorite Spinach Casserole!
