Breakfast Casserole with Spinach and Feta
Description
This Breakfast Casserole features a blend of spinach and feta integrated into an egg custard with milk and heavy cream, producing a creamy and satisfying savory breakfast or brunch option. The shallots are sautéed until soft to add depth and sweetness, complementing the earthy spinach and tangy saltiness of the feta cheese. The custard base is enriched with scallions and juicy plum tomatoes for freshness and a touch of acidity. Baking the mixture slowly at a moderate temperature ensures the casserole sets evenly with a tender center and a slightly firm edge. The use of olive oil in the skillet and for greasing the baking dish contributes a subtle richness without overpowering the other flavors. This dish serves well as a make-ahead breakfast or a warm meal alongside crusty bread.
