Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking dish with olive oil.
Rinse the fresh spinach thoroughly, then blanch it in boiling water for about 2 minutes. Drain well, pressing out any excess water, and roughly chop the spinach.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well until the ingredients are smooth and fully incorporated.
Add the sautéed onion and garlic mixture, along with the chopped spinach, to the bowl. Stir everything together until evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with a teaspoon of olive oil. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole for a crispy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling around the edges and the top is golden brown.
Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Spinach Supreme Casserole as a flavorful side or main!
