Cheesy Spinach Bake

"This dish appeals to all ages. The slices hold their shape and taste great at room temperature -- making them perfect for make-ahead dinners, lunch boxes or potlucks. When sliced in small squares, they make great finger food, too. Created for RSC#11, and definitely a dish I'll make often in the future."

directions

  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, beat eggs lightly, then beat in sour cream and black pepper. Stir in milk and butter, and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, sift together flour and baking powder. Stir several times and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine, in order, the spinach, shallots, cheeses, artichoke hearts and bacon. Stir well after each addition.
  • Add flour mixture and stir well.
  • Add egg mixture and stir well.
  • Pour into a greased 11x7 pan (I used a glass one). Note: a 10-inch pie pan also works.
  • Bake in the pre-heated oven for 30-40 minutes, until golden on top.
  • Let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Can be served warm but is best at room temperature.

  1. This was fabulous and everyone raved. I used salami as I had no ham or bacon. This made a generous amount and 4 people ate well. DS took recipe printout home even !!
     
  2. Delicious! I made this for breakfast and everyone raved over it. There are so many fabulous flavors going on in this dish - gouda, asiago, bacon, and artichokes - no wonder everyone loved it. I used a smoke gouda (which I think is a must), and artichoke bottoms instead of hearts (they're less woody and my preference in cooking). I baked this in a 7x11" dish for 45 mins. Served with sour cream and salsa, although neither were needed as it was so good by itself. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe...it is definitely a keeper! *Made for Aus/NZ swap #20*
     
  3. Wow -- this is great! This will be wonderful served at my next brunch buffet. I made it exactly as written, and including not cooking the bacon first -- was I supposed to cook it first? If so, at least I used smoked bacon!
     
  4. The basic recipe is really really good. I would do away with the flour though. It kind of left a pasty after-taste. VERY good though. I think I would make this for breakfast! We really enjoyed it, next time will skip the flour and cook it a little longer.
     
  5. We really enjoyed this...bacon, eggs, cheese, shallots....OH YEAH!
