Spinach Rice Casserole With Feta Cheese
Whip up this easy Spinach Rice Casserole With Feta Cheese for a cozy, family-friendly dinner! Packed with creamy feta, savory spinach, and fluffy rice.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp. Olive Oil
- ½ Cup Shallot Chopped Fine
- 10 oz. Frozen Spinach Thawed, Squeezed
- 2 tbsp. Garlic Minced
- 3 Cups Brown Rice Cooked
- ¾ Cup Feta Cheese Crumbled
- 1 tsp. Dry Dill
- Pinch Salt
- Pinch Pepper
- 4 Eggs
- ¼ Cup Sour Cream
- 1 tbsp. Lemon Juice
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven to 425°F (220°C). Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Sauté the shallots until tender.
- Add the spinach and garlic, cooking until the spinach is just warmed. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Combine the cooked spinach mixture with rice, feta cheese, dill, salt, pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and sour cream until smooth.
- Pour the egg and sour cream into the rice mixture, stirring thoroughly to combine.
- Spread the mixture evenly in the skillet, smoothing the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is light golden brown.
- Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before serving to let the flavors settle.
- Serve your spinach rice casserole on its own or with your favorite meat dish.
Notes
-
- Frozen Spinach is Totally Fine: Just thaw and squeeze out any moisture before adding to the skillet.
-
- Use Day-Old Rice: It's drier and helps the casserole hold its shape better.
-
- Go for Block Feta: Crumble it yourself for a creamier, more flavorful bite.
