Spinach Feta Bake: A Cozy Greek-Inspired Classic
Inspired by the classic flavors of spanakopita, this Spinach Feta Bake captures all the creamy, tangy, and savory goodness of the traditional Greek dish, but without the extra carbs.
Ingredients
- 3 eggs beaten
- 15 ounces ricotta cheese
- 8 ounces chopped spinach
- 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
- ½ cup finely diced red onion
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of pepper
- Dash of nutmeg
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients—beaten eggs, ricotta, spinach, feta, red onion, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- Pour in the melted butter and stir everything together until it’s well mixed and evenly combined.
- Next, spread the mixture into a lightly greased 8x8-inch baking dish, smoothing it into an even layer.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the edges are slightly browned and the center is just set. You’ll know it’s ready when the top looks golden and a small knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. The bake will firm up slightly as it rests, making it easier to serve perfect squares.
Notes
Once you’ve made it a few times, you might want to experiment with different additions. Try folding in a handful of fresh herbs like dill or parsley for even more Greek flavor. A few sun-dried tomatoes or roasted red peppers add a touch of color and sweetness. You can even sprinkle a bit of extra Parmesan or feta on top before baking for a more golden, cheesy crust.
