Ingredients

• 16 oz fresh spinach
• 1.5 cups sour cream
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 unit large egg
• 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 units garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.75 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg (optional)
• 0.25 cups breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch casserole dish or similar-sized baking dish.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring frequently until all the spinach is wilted. Remove any excess liquid by draining or blotting with a paper towel. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the cooled spinach mixture to the bowl and gently stir until well combined.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

If desired, combine the breadcrumbs and melted butter in a small bowl, then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and lightly golden on top.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy Spinach N Sour Cream Casserole!
