Ingredients
- 1 package (10 ounce) frozen spinach (chopped, cooked according to package directions then hand squeezed dry to remove excess moisture)
- 4 cups cooked rice (cooled, white or brown rice)
- 1/3 cup butter (melted)
- 2 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded (or Swiss cheese)
- 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (or to taste, and more to sprinkle on top before baking)
- 1 yellow onion (finely chopped, small onion)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced (or can use 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder)
- 4 large eggs (lightly beaten)
- 1 1/4 cups milk (or can use light cream)
- Cayenne pepper, pinch (optional, to taste)
- Salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
- Mozzarella cheese, shredded (optional, to add on the last 5 minutes of baking)
How to Make
-
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
-
Step 2: Generously grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
-
Step 3: In a large bowl combine all ingredients with a wooden spoon, mixing very well to combine.
-
Step 4: Season with salt, pepper and cayenne to taste.
-
Step 5: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
