Ingredients

• 6 cups Fresh spinach
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion (chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 6 pieces Large eggs
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 4 cups Bread cubes (day-old, 1-inch pieces)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing the dish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Gradually add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring as it wilts. Cook for 2-3 minutes until all the spinach is wilted. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg until well combined.

Step 6

Add the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese to the egg mixture and stir to combine.

Step 7

Gently fold in the bread cubes and the cooked spinach mixture, ensuring the bread is evenly coated with the egg mixture.

Step 8

Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
