How to Make Spanakopita Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Rinse 10 ounces of fresh spinach thoroughly and drain well.
  3. Place spinach in a large pot. Cover and steam over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted.
  4. Drain spinach in a colander and press out excess water using a large spoon or your hands.
  5. While spinach cools, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  6. Add 1/2 cup chopped red onion and 1/2 cup chopped green onion. Sauté until tender, about 10 minutes.
  7. Remove onions from heat and set aside.
  8. Chop the cooled spinach coarsely.
  9. In a large bowl, combine the chopped spinach, sautéed onions, 1 cup ricotta cheese, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried dill, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir well to combine.
  10. Gently fold in 1 cup crumbled feta cheese.
  11. Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.
  12. Pour the spinach mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  13. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
  14. Let cool slightly before cutting into 8 pieces.
