A delightful and easy-to-make casserole combining spinach, rice, and a trio of cheeses for a comforting and flavorful dish.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the casserole inside for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, lemon juice, cooked brown rice, dried parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped onion until well combined.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
In another bowl, combine the fresh spinach, low-fat cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and cayenne pepper.
Chop the spinach finely for a smoother texture in the casserole.
Grease a casserole dish and spread the main mixture evenly on the bottom.
Use a spatula to level the mixture for an even base.
Spread the spinach mixture over the main mixture evenly.
Press down gently to ensure the layers adhere together.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until the casserole is firm and the top is golden brown.
Check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious spinach and cheese bake!
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color.
