Share:
Ingredients
- 1 pound spinach fresh washed and chopped, or frozen defrosted and drained
- 6 spring onion sliced, only whites
- 8 ounces feta cheese crumbled
- 4 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese grated
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ tablespoon oregano dry
- ¼ cup dill chopped
- salt
- black pepper
- 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs preferable wholegrain
- 6 egg medium
- lemon for serving
For Topping
- 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven at 400 F (200 C)
- Brush a 8x12 inch (20-30 cm) baking dish with olive oil.
- In a large deep pan or pot heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil and sauté the spring onions for 2-3 minutes, add the spinach and continue heating until spinach wilts and shrinks. Remove from pan, strain and let it cool.
- In a large bowl mix the feta cheese, 2 tablespoons parmesan, 1 tablespoon bread crumbs, oregano, dill, 1 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper. Add the spinach and mix making sure it has spread in the whole mixture.
- In a small bowl whip the eggs and add them to the spinach mixture and mix well.
- Grease a baking dish with olive oil and transfer the spinach mixture to the baking dish. Even it out and sprinkle over it the rest of the parmesan (2 tablespoons).
- Make topping: in a small bowl place the rest of the bread crumbs (3 tablespoons), and add olive oil gradually (do not add all of it at once) while pressing the mixture with a fork, add enough olive oil until you have a crumbly texture and all the breadcrumbs are wet. Sprinkle over the casserole.
- Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes. After that, put under broiler about 1-2 minutes until topping is golden (check often).
- Let it cool and serve.
- You may serve with a squeeze of lemon.
Notes
- Make Ahead: Assemble it the night before (except for the topping), transfer to the baking dish and cover tightly with aluminum foil and place in refrigerator for one night. To Bake: Make the topping and sprinkle and bake.
- Freeze You can also assemble and freeze (uncooked) for 3 months. To bake you must let it defrost first. You can also freeze after cooking and heat when ready to serve.
