| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Fresh spinach | 12 oz |
| Onion | 1 |
| Fresh mushrooms | 1/2 cup |
| Feta cheese | 3/4 cup |
| Mozzarella cheese | 1/2 cup |
| Eggs | 6 |
| Olive oil | As needed |
| Yogurt | As needed |
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
-
Prepare the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, then add sliced mushrooms (if using) and fresh spinach. Sauté just until the spinach is wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
Prepare the Casserole Dish: Grease a 9-inch square casserole dish with olive oil or spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
-
Beat the Eggs: In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them lightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Combine Ingredients: Add the crumbled feta cheese and the sautéed spinach mixture to the beaten eggs. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
-
Assemble the Dish: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, ensuring it covers the surface evenly.
-
Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for approximately 30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow the baked ‘omelette’ to cool for about 5 minutes before cutting it into 4 servings. This allows it to set slightly and makes it easier to portion. Serve with your choice of fresh fruit and a dollop of plain yogurt on the side. For added flavor and visual appeal, mix some dried dill or parsley into the yogurt before serving.
