US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees, and spray a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Add all the spinach and stir until just wilted, about 2 minutes.
    1 tsp olive oil, 4 cups packed spinach
  • Transfer the spinach to the casserole dish, spreading out so that the bottom is covered.
  • Sprinkle the onions evenly out over the spinach, followed by the shredded cheese.
    1/3 cup green onions, 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper the eggs, to taste.
    salt & pepper, 12 eggs
  • Pour the eggs out over the spinach, cheese, and onions.
  • Using a butter knife, give it a quick swirl around the pan to help the eggs settle and ingredients combine.
  • Bake about 35 minutes or until the mixture is completely set and starting to slightly brown.
  • Let cool about 5 minutes before cutting and serving to allow everything to settle.

Notes

  • Don't skip some form of onion be it the green onions or diced white onion. They add tons of flavor to the dish.
  • You could add extra flavor by playing with seasonings. Adding garlic (fresh, crushed garlic or garlic powder), red pepper flakes, or chili powder would all be yummy additions.
  • Want more veggies? Mix in sauteed mushrooms or even finely chopped broccoli.
  • Our favorite way to enjoy this egg bake is with a few dashes of hot sauce on top of each slice.
