Ingredients

• 450 grams Fresh spinach
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 225 grams Cream cheese, softened (ensure gluten-free label)
• 120 milliliters Sour cream (gluten-free)
• 120 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 60 grams Grated parmesan cheese
• 60 grams Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a medium-sized casserole dish with olive oil or cooking spray.

Step 2

Wash and drain the spinach thoroughly. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach in batches and sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer the spinach to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess water. Set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Fold the sautéed spinach and onion-garlic mixture into the cream cheese mixture. Stir until evenly combined.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Sprinkle the gluten-free breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the casserole for a crunchy topping.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
