Creamy Feta Spinach Bake

Creamy Feta Spinach Bake is the kind of comforting, savory dish that feels both simple and special. From the very first bite, it delivers a rich, velvety texture balanced by tangy feta and tender spinach. Moreover, this recipe comes together easily, making it perfect for busy weeknights, relaxed brunches, or elegant gatherings.

Traditionally, spinach and feta have long been paired in Mediterranean cooking, especially in Greek-inspired dishes. Over time, cooks discovered that baking them together creates a soft, almost custard-like consistency that feels indulgent without being heavy. As a result, this bake has become a beloved classic across many kitchens.

Meanwhile, this version leans into simplicity while still delivering depth. Creamy eggs, herbs, and olive oil enhance the spinach, while feta adds bold character. Because it bakes beautifully and slices cleanly, it’s ideal for meal prep, entertaining, or serving warm straight from the oven. Altogether, this is a cozy, crowd-pleasing recipe you’ll want to make again and again.

Recipe Yield: 6 servings

INGREDIENTS

6 oz feta cheese, crumbled
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
10 oz fresh spinach, chopped
4 large eggs
¾ cup heavy cream
½ cup whole milk
1 small onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp olive oil
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
½ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp ground nutmeg

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prepare the oven:
First, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-in baking dish and set it aside.

2. Cook the aromatics:
Next, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until soft. Then, stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Wilt the spinach:
Meanwhile, add spinach to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, until fully wilted and moisture evaporates. Remove from heat and cool slightly.

4. Mix the custard:
In a large bowl, whisk eggs, cream, milk, salt, pepper, oregano, and nutmeg until smooth.

5. Assemble the bake:
Then, fold the spinach mixture into the egg mixture. Gently stir in feta and Parmesan.

6. Bake:
Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. Bake for 35–40 minutes until set in the center and golden on top.

7. Rest and serve:
Finally, let rest 10 minutes before slicing for clean, beautiful squares.

HELPFUL TIPS TO PERFECT THIS RECIPE

• Drain Spinach Well:
  Because excess moisture can affect texture, make sure the spinach is fully cooked down and dry before mixing. This ensures a creamy, sliceable bake every time.
• Use Quality Feta:
  For best flavor, choose block feta and crumble it yourself. It melts slightly while still holding texture, creating pockets of tangy richness throughout the bake.
• Rest Before Cutting:
  Although it’s tempting to slice right away, letting the casserole rest helps it set properly and enhances the final presentation.
