Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Frozen hash browns
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 Large onion, diced
- 1 Red bell pepper, diced
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Spinach, fresh
- 1 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup Low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 3 Eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper, sautéing until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 more minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, low-sodium vegetable broth, and eggs until well combined.
Stir in the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Add the sautéed vegetables and frozen hash browns to the mixing bowl, stirring to combine all ingredients evenly.
Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with a light layer of cooking spray.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the casserole is set in the center.
Remove from the oven and let it stand for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Slice into portions and serve warm.
