A comforting and creamy casserole that combines tender squash with nutritious spinach, baked to golden perfection. This dish is a delightful way to enjoy a hearty vegetable bake.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound yellow squash, thinly sliced
  • 10 ounces fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Add the sliced squash to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash is tender-crisp, about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese, sour cream, milk, and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  8. In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
  10. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can use frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry, if fresh is unavailable.
  • Feel free to add other cheeses like Monterey Jack or Gruyere for a different flavor profile.
  • For a touch of extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the onion mixture.
