Ingredients
- 24 whole large eggs
- 1.5 cups milk
- 6 cups fresh spinach
- 2 whole red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow onion
- 1.5 cups feta cheese
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1.5 tsp kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat and sauté vegetables: Heat oven to 375°F. Sauté onion and bell pepper in olive oil 6 minutes until softened. Add garlic and spinach, cook 2 minutes until wilted and dry.
- Whisk egg base: Whisk eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper until smooth with no flour lumps visible at the bottom of the bowl.
- Combine filling: Fold sautéed vegetables and feta into egg mixture until evenly distributed with vegetables suspended throughout, not sunk to bottom.
- Bake casserole: Pour into greased deep baking dish. Bake 32–38 minutes until center is set, puffed, and knife inserted in middle comes out clean.
- Rest and slice: Rest 10 minutes. Cut into 12 squares. Texture should be firm and springy, not wet or rubbery in the center.
Tonight's spread
- Fresh fruit platter.
- Whole-grain toast and jam.
Hall tips
- Add turkey sausage crumbles for extra protein without changing bake time much.
- Reheat squares covered with foil at 325°F for 15 minutes.
- Hot sauce at the line wakes up mild morning palates.
Meal prep
Bake night before and reheat morning of. Cut into 12 squares for easy portions. Station: Use a 4-inch deep baking dish for even bake and clean slicing. Station: Squeeze spinach dry—excess moisture makes a soggy casserole center. Station: Rest pan 10 minutes before cutting so squares hold their shape.
Leftovers

- Freeze individually wrapped for backup shift breakfasts.
- Deep baking dish
