Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Fresh spinach
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoons Nutmeg, ground
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly and pat dry. Roughly chop the spinach leaves for easier incorporation in the dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until wilted and most of the moisture has evaporated. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until fully combined.
Add the softened cream cheese to the egg mixture and whisk until smooth.
Stir in the cooked spinach, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg. Mix everything until well combined.
Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish or a similarly sized casserole dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.
Pour the spinach mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bake is set in the middle.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your low carb cheesy spinach bake!
