How to make Bread, Spinach, and Cheese Casserole
- Step 1
Chop the steamed spinach into thin strips (julienne) and do the same with the mozzarella cheese, or alternatively, grate the cheese using the coarse side of a grater.
- Step 2
Cut each slice of bread into approximately 6 squares.
- Step 3
In a bowl, crack the eggs, add salt and pepper to taste, and beat them until frothy.
- Step 4
Grease an oven-safe dish lightly with olive oil. Place the cubed bread in the dish to cover the bottom. Add a layer of spinach on top of the bread, followed by a layer of grated or julienned mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers with more bread, spinach, and finish with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Step 5
Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the preparation and drizzle a bit of olive oil on top.
- Step 6
Bake the casserole in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 20 minutes.
- Step 7
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
