Spinach and Mozzarella Egg Bake

Ingredients

• Olive oil

  Salad or cooking

  1 tsp or 5g

• Spinach

  Raw

  ½ package (10 oz) or 142g

• Mozzarella cheese

  Whole milk

  1 ½ cup, shredded or 168g

• Scallions

  Spring onions or scallions (includes tops and bulb), raw

  ⅓ cup, chopped or 33g

• Egg

  Whole, fresh eggs

  8 extra large or 448g

• Oregano

  Spices, dried

  1 tsp, ground or 2g

• Salt

  Table

  1 dash or 0.4g

• Pepper

  Spices, black

  1 dash or 0.1g

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray an 8.5"x12" glass or crockery casserole dish with olive oil or nonstick spray.
2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add spinach all at once, and stir just until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes. Transfer spinach to the casserole dish, spreading it around so the bottom of the dish is covered. Layer the grated cheese and sliced onions on top of the spinach.
3. Beat the eggs with oregano, salt, and fresh ground pepper to taste. Pour the egg mixture over the spinach/cheese combination, and then use a fork to gently "stir" so the eggs, spinach, and cheese are evenly combined.
4. Bake about 35 minutes or until the mixture is completely set and starting to lightly brown. Let cool about 5 minutes before cutting. (The egg bake will settle down some as it cools.) Serve hot.
5. Enjoy!
