Ingredient Notes:
- Spinach - I use frozen spinach in this recipe. When I don't have frozen spinach on hand I will use fresh spinach. It's a bit more time consuming but it works nicely. Chop the spinach and then put it into a pan with a bit of oil. Soften and cook the spinach until it has wilted and then continue on with the recipe.
- Mushrooms - I like using a brown button mushroom or baby portobello mushroom. These have more flavor than the white mushroom variety but any type will work. I have used shitake, oyster, and many other varieties all with success.

Additions and Substitutions
Additions
- Protein: Add in crumbled, cooked bacon, chopped breakfast sausages, or cooked chicken to boost the protein of the casserole.
- Herbs and seasonings: Add in chopped jalapenos, fresh parsley, crushed red pepper, or more spices to create the flavors you're craving.
Substitutions
- Cheese: Any cheese will work to create a savory flavor. Swap the cheddar cheese for feta or a combination of mozzarella and parmesan.
- Vegetables: In place of fresh mushrooms, you can use bell peppers or even finely chopped broccoli.
How To Make Baked Spinach With Mushrooms: Step-By-Step
Step 1: In a large skillet, sauté the onions in butter over medium heat until slightly cooked. Add in the fresh mushrooms. Cook the mushrooms until they start to brown. Set aside.
Step 2: Cook the frozen spinach in the microwave. Squeeze out the excess water and set aside.
Step 3: In a large bowl, add the spinach, cheese, egg, mushroom mixture, and spices. Mix well until everything is combined.
Step 4: Pour the spinach mixture into a greased casserole dish. Top the casserole with some extra cheese and bake it until the top is lightly browned about 35 minutes.
Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Pro Tip
Make sure to grease the dish or the outsides of your casserole will stick.
Yes! Make the egg bake and pour it into a greased dish. Then, wrap the dish in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours. When you need it, let it come to room temperature before baking it until cooked through.
Anything you want! This casserole is a meal all on its own so you can serve it by itself or with something simple like fruit. Or make it part of a bigger brunch and serve it with French toast, pancakes, or croissants.
