Ingredients

• 2 cups Ricotta cheese
• 10 ounces Frozen spinach
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Thaw the frozen spinach by placing it in a microwave-safe bowl and microwaving for 2-3 minutes. Then, squeeze out all excess water using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, thawed spinach, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic.

Step 4

Add the eggs, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 5

Grease a 9x9-inch (or similar size) baking dish with olive oil. Spread the mixture evenly into the dish.

Step 6

Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the casserole to create a crispy topping.

Step 7

Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set in the center.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Cut into portions and enjoy warm as a side dish or a vegetarian main course.
