Egg And Spinach Casserole

As much as I enjoy cooking, I definitely prefer dishes that are quick and easy to prepare, especially when it comes to breakfast foods! I am not a morning person, so cooking anything bright and early is not my forte. Don’t get me wrong, I love to eat breakfast foods, I just want breakfast recipes that require very little thought early in the morning.

Which is why I’m partial to breakfast casseroles. Mix them up the night before, take it out of the fridge in the morning and throw it in the oven. Then, in about an hour, you have a fabulous breakfast/brunch dish that tastes and smells like you’ve been slaving all morning.

I’ve been making this spinach egg casserole recipe for years now, and it is definitely one of my husband’s most requested breakfasts.

How To Make Spinach Casserole Healthier

This egg casserole can easily be lightened up to make it a healthier breakfast option! Here are a few options to try:

• Use turkey sausage instead of pork
• egg substitute works perfectly fine
• sub your favorite cheeses, if you’re not into feta.

Make Ahead & Storage

Can I Make This Casserole Ahead Of Time – Yes, you definitely can! After you have combined everything into the casserole pan but before adding any of the topping, cover the casserole dish tightly with plastic wrap and then store in the refrigerator overnight. Take the casserole out of the fridge about 30 minutes before baking. Add the topping and then cook according to the directions above.

Can I Freeze This Recipe – Yes, you can bake this egg casserole and then freeze it for later. If you do this, bake it in a disposable casserole pan so you don’t tie up one of your good dishes while it’s in the freezer. Once the casserole has completely cooled, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then cover it with aluminum foil before freezing.

You can store it in the freezer for about 2 months. When you’re ready to eat the spinach casserole, let it thaw overnight in the fridge and then bake it at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes or until it is heated throughout.

How Do I Store Any Leftovers – Simply put any leftover casserole into an airtight container and store it in the fridge. This recipe will stay fresh for about 5-7 days and then you’ll need to toss it.
