Why You’ll Love This Easy Feta and Spinach Casserole

You’ll love this recipe because it feels hearty without being heavy, thanks to the natural creaminess of feta and the brightness of fresh or frozen spinach. It’s also completely versatile—serve it as a main with a side salad or pair it with roasted meat for a bigger dinner. And since it’s meatless, it’s perfect for vegetarian nights.

Can I Use Frozen Spinach Instead of Fresh?

Absolutely. Frozen spinach is a great time-saver and works just as well in this casserole. Just be sure to thaw it fully and squeeze out all the excess moisture before mixing it into your filling. If you’re using fresh spinach, sautéing it lightly beforehand will give the best texture and prevent sogginess.
