Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or olive oil

  • 3 cups baby spinach, chopped
  • 1 large russet potato (peeled and thinly sliced)

  • 2/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

  2. Cook the Vegetables: Heat the butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes, just until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Layer the Potatoes: Arrange the thinly sliced potatoes evenly on the bottom of the greased baking dish. Layer the sautéed vegetables on top.
  4. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
  5. Assemble the Casserole: Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and potatoes in the baking dish. Sprinkle the reserved cheese on top for a golden crust.
  6. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the center and the top is golden.
