Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Ricotta cheese
- 10 ounces Frozen spinach
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Thaw the frozen spinach by placing it in a microwave-safe bowl and microwaving for 2-3 minutes. Then, squeeze out all excess water using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, thawed spinach, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic.
Add the eggs, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Grease a 9x9-inch (or similar size) baking dish with olive oil. Spread the mixture evenly into the dish.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the casserole to create a crispy topping.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set in the center.
Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Cut into portions and enjoy warm as a side dish or a vegetarian main course.
