Spinach Casserole with Feta and Crunchy Topping

Step 1

Preheat oven at 400 F (200 C)

Step 2

Brush a 8x12 inch (20-30 cm) baking dish with olive oil.

Step 3

In a large deep pan or pot heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil and sauté the spring onions for 2-3 minutes, add the spinach and continue heating until spinach wilts and shrinks. Remove from pan, strain and let it cool.

Step 4

In a large bowl mix the feta cheese, 2 tablespoons parmesan, 1 tablespoon bread crumbs, oregano, dill, 1 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper. Add the spinach and mix making sure it has spread in the whole mixture.

Step 5

In a small bowl whip the eggs and add them to the spinach mixture and mix well.

Step 6

Grease a baking dish with olive oil and transfer the spinach mixture to the baking dish. Even it out and sprinkle over it the rest of the parmesan (2 tablespoons).

Step 7

Make topping: in a small bowl place the rest of the bread crumbs (3 tablespoons), and add olive oil gradually (do not add all of it at once) while pressing the mixture with a fork, add enough olive oil until you have a crumbly texture and all the breadcrumbs are wet. Sprinkle over the casserole.

Step 8

Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes. After that, put under broiler about 1-2 minutes until topping is golden (check often).

Step 9

Let it cool and serve.

Step 10

You may serve with a squeeze of lemon.
