  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 40 minutes
  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Servings: 6

Ingredients:

Quantity Ingredient
1 Low-fat cottage cheese
1 Package frozen spinach, drained well
1 Mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 Cup chopped green onion
1/2 Cup crumbled meatless “sausage”
4 Eggs

Instructions:

  1. Preparation:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Grease a 9-inch pie plate or a square casserole dish.
  2. Mixing:

    • In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the low-fat cottage cheese, drained frozen spinach, shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped green onion, crumbled meatless “sausage”, and eggs.
  3. Baking:

    • Pour the mixture into the prepared greased dish.
    • Place the dish in the preheated oven.
  4. Cooking:

    • Bake the casserole for approximately 40 minutes or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
  5. Resting:

    • Once out of the oven, allow the casserole to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. This helps it set and makes it easier to slice.
  6. Serving:

    • Serve the casserole warm.
    • Cut into wedges if using a pie plate, or squares if using a casserole dish.

Tips:

  • Drain Spinach Well: Ensure to drain the frozen spinach very well before using it in the casserole. Excess moisture can make the dish watery.

  • Substitutions: For non-vegetarians, you can easily swap the meatless “sausage” for ground breakfast sausage or crumbled bacon.

  • Make-Ahead: This casserole can be assembled the night before, covered, and refrigerated. Just pop it in the oven when ready to bake.

  • Variations: Add your favorite herbs and spices to customize the flavor. Fresh herbs like thyme, basil, or parsley work wonderfully.

  • Side Suggestions: Serve this casserole with a side of fresh fruit salad, crusty bread, or a simple green salad for a complete meal.

  • Freezing: This casserole freezes well. Cut it into individual portions, wrap tightly in foil or plastic wrap, and store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and bake until warmed through.

This Vegetarian Spinach, Cheese, and “Sausage” Casserole is a wholesome and satisfying dish that’s packed with protein, vitamins, and flavor. Whether you’re a vegetarian or simply looking for a delicious meatless meal option, this casserole is sure to please! Enjoy! 🥗🧀
