It’s light yet filling, and its colorful presentation can brighten up your dining table.
Ingredients:
- Eggs: 8
- Fresh spinach: 1 bunch, rinsed and roughly chopped
- Olive oil: 1 tablespoon
- Onion: 1/4 cup, diced
- Red bell pepper: 1/4 cup, diced
- Garlic: 3-4 cloves, minced
- Salt and pepper: to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring it reaches the correct temperature for a perfect bake.
- Prepare the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and red bell peppers, sautéing until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Cook the Spinach: Gradually add the chopped spinach to the skillet. It may seem like a lot at first, but the spinach will wilt down significantly. Stir continuously until the spinach is wilted and reduced, which should take about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Whisk the Eggs: In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until fully combined. You can add a splash of milk or cream for a richer texture if desired.
- Combine Ingredients: Remove the skillet from heat and let the vegetable mixture cool slightly. Once cooled, add it to the whisked eggs, ensuring that the ingredients are well mixed.
- Bake the Casserole: Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into a greased baking dish. Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is slightly golden.
- Serve: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before cutting into it. Serve warm, with optional toppings like shredded cheese, chopped fresh herbs, or a light drizzle of hot sauce for an extra kick.
