Instructions

1
Preheat oven and prepare spinach
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
- Ensure your thawed spinach is squeezed completely dry to remove all excess water. This is crucial for a firm bake.
2
Sauté the aromatics and spinach
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the dry spinach, chopped dill, and dried oregano. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes to combine flavors and evaporate any remaining moisture.
3
Combine the ingredients

Season with the salt and black pepper.

Remove the skillet from the heat and add the spinach mixture to the bowl with the eggs.

Add the crumbled feta cheese and stir everything together until just combined.

Bake the dish

Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

Rest and serve

Let the bake cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. It will firm up as it cools.
Serve warm, either on its own or with a side salad.

Pro Tips

1Squeezing the spinach very dry is the most important step. Excess water will result in a soggy bake.
2If you can't find low-sodium feta, you can rinse regular feta under cold water for 30 seconds to reduce its salt content.
3For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the spinach mixture.
4This bake can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
5You can use fresh spinach instead of frozen. Sauté about 1 pound (450g) of fresh spinach until wilted, then chop and squeeze dry.
