Ingredients

• 16 ounces fresh spinach
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch casserole dish.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the diced onion until it becomes soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 3

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted and most of the moisture has evaporated, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, beaten eggs, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.

Step 5

Fold the cooked spinach mixture into the cheese mixture until evenly combined.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the olive oil and mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top of the casserole.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling at the edges.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your Favorite Spinach Casserole!
