Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz fresh spinach
- 1.5 cups sour cream
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.75 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg (optional)
- 0.25 cups breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch casserole dish or similar-sized baking dish.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring frequently until all the spinach is wilted. Remove any excess liquid by draining or blotting with a paper towel. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, egg, salt, black pepper, and optional nutmeg. Stir until smooth and well incorporated.
Add the cooled spinach mixture to the bowl and gently stir until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
If desired, combine the breadcrumbs and melted butter in a small bowl, then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and lightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy Spinach N Sour Cream Casserole!
