🛒 Ingredients

• 8 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 5 oz fresh spinach, roughly chopped
• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• ½ tsp dried dill
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ tsp paprika
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Spinach

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch or 9-inch baking dish.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.

Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the spinach and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring until wilted.

Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

2. Prepare the Egg Mixture

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.

Add oregano, dill, paprika, black pepper, and a small amount of salt. Be careful with the salt because feta is naturally salty.

Stir in the cooked spinach and onion mixture.

3. Add the Cheese

Fold in the feta, mozzarella, and Parmesan, reserving a little mozzarella and Parmesan for the top.

Mix gently so the feta remains in small creamy pieces throughout the mixture.

4. Bake

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan over the top.

Bake for approximately 35–45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is beautifully golden brown.

A knife inserted into the center should come out mostly clean.

5. Rest and Serve

Remove the bake from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Garnish with fresh parsley and a little cracked black pepper.

Cut into squares and serve warm.

💡 Helpful Tips

Drain the spinach well: Excess moisture can make the casserole watery.

Don’t overbake: Remove it when the center is just set. It will continue cooking slightly as it rests.

Use good-quality feta: Creamy feta gives the best flavor and texture.

Add vegetables: Mushrooms, bell peppers, zucchini, tomatoes, or green onions work beautifully.

Make it ahead: Assemble it the night before, cover, refrigerate, and bake the next morning. Allow a few extra minutes of baking time if starting from cold.

🌿 Easy Variations

For a Mediterranean twist, add chopped sun-dried tomatoes, olives, oregano, and a little extra feta.

For a higher-protein version, add cottage cheese or extra egg whites.

For a meatier breakfast, add cooked turkey sausage, ham, or crispy bacon.

For a low-carb meal, serve it alongside avocado, tomatoes, or a fresh cucumber salad instead of bread or potatoes.
