During my childhood, we didn’t have much. My mother prepared this often. It’s uncomplicated yet delicious. It also taught me valuable lessons about gratitude!

This oven-baked spinach and feta breakfast casserole is a comforting dish that brings together the simple, hearty flavors of the Midwest with a touch of Mediterranean flair. It’s a recipe that reminds me of Sunday mornings on the farm, where the kitchen was filled with the aroma of freshly baked casseroles, a staple in our family gatherings. The combination of eggs, feta cheese, and spinach creates a creamy, savory delight that’s perfect for starting the day. Whether you’re hosting a brunch or simply want to treat yourself to a special breakfast, this dish is sure to warm your heart and satisfy your taste buds.

This casserole pairs beautifully with a side of crispy bacon or sausage links for a hearty breakfast. For a lighter option, consider serving it with a fresh fruit salad or a simple green salad with a tangy vinaigrette. A slice of toasted rustic bread or a warm croissant would also complement the creamy texture of the casserole, making for a well-rounded and satisfying meal.
