- In a large mixing bowl whisk together egg whites, whole eggs, Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
- Fold in 2 cups of cheese with spinach and place in the prepared baking dish. Top with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.
- 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.
- Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes.
- 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
- You may use 10 whole eggs in place of the egg whites. Add 1/2 cup of milk, heavy cream or half and half.
- For thicker slices use a smaller baking dish and increase baking time.
