- 3 medium zucchinis, sliced into thin rounds
- 4 cups fresh spinach
Dairy & Eggs
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 3 large eggs
Seasonings & Oils
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with a little olive oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Combine vegetables: Slice the zucchinis into thin rounds and mix them with the fresh spinach in a large bowl to create the vegetable base.
- Mix the binding ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, crumbled feta cheese, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and extra virgin olive oil until well combined.
- Combine mixture with vegetables: Pour the egg and feta mixture over the zucchini and spinach blend. Stir gently to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated and the mixture is uniform.
- Transfer to baking dish: Pour the entire mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly for uniform cooking.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set in the center.
