Spinach and Cheese Egg Bake
Makes 6 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk ( I used whole, but any is fine)
- 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar
- 1/3 cup cooked crumbled bacon (about 3 slices)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 tsp. onion powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp. pepper
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 10 inch round baking dish (or a 9 x 9 square one). Add all ingredients besides egg and milk to the dish, reserving some cheddar to top the egg bake, if desired. Mix the ingredients thoroughly and ensure they are spread out evenly throughout the dish.
- Whisk eggs and milk together until well combined and pour over top of the spinach mixture. Top with reserved cheddar and place into preheated oven. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, ensuring the top doesn’t get too brown. Let cool and cut into six triangles or squares. Serve warm or room temperature.
Note: This can be refrigerated for up to four days or frozen for up to three months.
