Spinach and Feta Breakfast Casserole


Looking for something new and different for breakfast - or dinner... who doesn't like a good breakfast for dinner? Either way - look no more! This dish is so easy to throw together but has flavor galore. It's eggy. It's cheesy. It has crispy bits on top. It pretty much has everything in it you might want out of a breakfast casserole. OK. So it doesn't have sausage, but I promise, this thing has enough deliciousness, you'll never miss it.


Not that we're doing many potlucks right now, but this is a great potluck dish. As soon as we all get to leave our houses again, you'll want this one in your back pocket. Again, it is super easy to put together, fairly cheap to make, and is super tasty. I use fresh spinach because it is so tender, but you could use frozen as well. You would just need to thaw and drain it. This thing takes about five minutes to put together and then takes only about 30 minutes to bake. Enjoy!


Spinach and Feta Breakfast Casserole
Yield: 8 servings

8 slices fresh sandwich bread
8 eggs
1 1/4 cup whole milk
1 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 - 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup crumbled feta
1 1/2 cup coarsely chopped spinach

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 glass baking dish. In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs and milk together. Add the cheese, onion powder, salt, feta, and spinach. Stir thoroughly. Cut or tear the bread into roughly one inch cubes. Place in the egg mixture and stir to coat evenly. Pour into the dish and level. Bake for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Let cool 5-10 minutes before serving.
