Ingredients

  • 1 16 ounce egg white, container
  • 2 egg large
  • 2 1/2 cups cheddar cheese shredded, like Colby or sharp cheddar
  • 10 ounce spinach fresh
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish and set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add butter. Once butter is melted add fresh spinach. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until wilted and tender (approximately 2 minutes). Remove from heat and cool.
  4. In a large mixing bowl whisk together egg whites, whole eggs, Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
  5. Fold in 2 cups of cheese with spinach and place in the prepared baking dish. Top with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.
  6. OR place spinach evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish and add egg mixture on top followed with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.
  7. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes.
  8. To test for doneness, insert a knife in the center of the casserole. If it comes out clean, then it's done. For an exact temperature reading, the thermometer probe should reach 160 degrees.

Notes

  • Substitute 10 whole eggs with 1/2 cup of milk, cream, or half and half for creamier texture.
  • For thicker slices, use a smaller baking dish and bake longer until set.
