Ingredients for Spinach Rockefeller

  • Frozen Chopped Spinach
  • Breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • Butter
  • Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • Dried Thyme
  • Black Pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Tomatoes
  • garlic salt (to taste)

How to Make Spinach Rockefeller

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook 10 oz fresh spinach until wilted. Drain thoroughly and squeeze out excess water.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked spinach with 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup melted butter, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  5. Arrange 10-12 tomato slices (about 1 pound) on a baking sheet and lightly sprinkle with garlic salt.
  6. Spoon 1/4 cup of the spinach mixture onto each tomato slice, shaping into a dome.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the spinach mixture is set and heated through. If assembling ahead and refrigerating, bake for 25-30 minutes.
  8. (Alternative) For an elegant presentation, pile the spinach mixture onto cooked artichoke bottoms instead of tomato slices.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
