Ingredients

2 cups rice cooked - white or brown
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion finely chopped
3 cloves garlic minced
6 cups spinach fresh - chopped
1 cup feta cheese - crumbled
4 eggs beaten
1 cup milk you can use regular or a dairy-free alternative
1 teaspoon dried oregano

salt and pepper to taste

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare a 9x13 casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Cook the rice if you haven't already done so.
Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet.
Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute or until fragrant.
Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt, pepper, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes if using. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Combine the cooked rice, sautéed spinach mixture, crumbled feta cheese, beaten eggs, and milk in a large mixing bowl. Mix well until everything is evenly combined. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Pour the mixture into the greased casserole dish, spreading it out evenly. If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top for an extra cheesy crust.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
