Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh spinach, sautéed
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 large eggs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional Add-ins
- 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup cooked bacon or sausage
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Sauté Spinach: Heat a splash of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add fresh spinach and sauté for 2–3 minutes until wilted and tender. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Mix Eggs and Milk: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until the mixture is smooth, uniform, and slightly frothy.
- Season Mixture: Add garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the egg mixture, stirring well to incorporate the seasonings evenly.
- Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the sautéed spinach, crumbled feta, shredded mozzarella, and any optional add-ins like diced tomatoes or cooked bacon/sausage into the egg mixture. Stir carefully to combine without breaking up the ingredients too much.
- Pour and Smooth: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread out evenly, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is fully set.
- Rest and Serve: Remove from oven and let the bake rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm as a delicious and filling breakfast dish.
Notes
- You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a lactose-free version.
- The optional bacon or sausage adds protein and flavor but can be omitted for a vegetarian option.
- Ensure spinach is well-drained after sautéing to prevent excess moisture in the bake.
- Feel free to add herbs like dill or parsley for extra freshness.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
