Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 225 grams Cream cheese, softened (ensure gluten-free label)
- 120 milliliters Sour cream (gluten-free)
- 120 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 60 grams Grated parmesan cheese
- 60 grams Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a medium-sized casserole dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
Wash and drain the spinach thoroughly. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach in batches and sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer the spinach to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess water. Set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, shredded mozzarella, grated parmesan, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
Fold the sautéed spinach and onion-garlic mixture into the cream cheese mixture. Stir until evenly combined.
Transfer the spinach mixture to the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the gluten-free breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the casserole for a crunchy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
