Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh spinach
- 250 grams ricotta cheese
- 200 grams mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 50 grams breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Wash the spinach thoroughly and steam it for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Let it cool slightly, then squeeze out excess moisture and roughly chop.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
Transfer the spinach mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the mixture for a nice golden crust.
Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the breadcrumbs to enhance browning.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Let the bake cool slightly for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
