Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 cups fresh spinach
- 6 large eggs
- 0.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 medium, finely diced onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.25 cups nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with olive oil.
In a large skillet, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet in batches, allowing it to wilt before adding more. Cook until all the spinach is wilted and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, nutritional yeast, coconut flour, sea salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
Transfer the cooled spinach mixture into the prepared baking dish. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the spinach, using a spatula to gently mix and ensure everything is distributed evenly.
Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are golden brown.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Whole30-compliant spinach casserole as a flavorful side dish or a delicious standalone meal.
