Ingredients:
Instructions:
- If needed, thaw the frozen spinach according to package instructions. Squeeze out any excess water and set aside.
- Finely chop the onion and red pepper, and roughly chop the artichokes.
- Mince the garlic clove and chop the dill.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 8 eggs and add the 4 egg whites.
- Pour in the 1/4 cup of milk.
- Add the grated parmesan cheese, 1.25 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- Whisk all ingredients together until well combined.
- Add the thawed and drained spinach, chopped onion, artichokes, red pepper, minced garlic, and chopped dill to the egg mixture.
- Stir the mixture until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with a short spray of cooking spray oil, ensuring the bottom and sides are evenly covered.
- Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the egg bake is set and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before slicing.
- Cut into squares and serve warm.
Tips:
- Thaw and thoroughly drain the frozen spinach to prevent excess moisture in the egg bake.
- Finely chop the onions, red peppers, and artichokes for even distribution and balance of flavors.
- Use a whisk to ensure the eggs, egg whites, and milk are well combined for a fluffier texture.
- Feel free to add extra herbs or spices to suit your taste preferences.
