Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the dish
3 bunches spinach (about 1 1/2 pounds), tough stems trimmed
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
12 large eggs
2 cups whole milk
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
6 English muffins, split and quartered
1 bunch scallions, chopped
2 cups grated Swiss cheese (8 ounces)
Creme fraiche, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining spinach, the nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook until all of the spinach wilts, about 3 more minutes. Drain the spinach in a colander and let cool, then squeeze out the excess moisture. Chop the spinach.
  • Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Whisk the eggs, milk, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Arrange half of the English muffin pieces in the prepared baking dish. Top with half each of the spinach, scallions and cheese. Top with the remaining English muffin pieces, spinach, scallions and cheese. Pour the egg mixture onto the casserole, then press down on the English muffins to submerge them. Cover with foil and refrigerate 3 hours or overnight.
  • Remove the casserole from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake the casserole, covered, until just set, about 25 minutes. Uncover and bake until the top is lightly browned, about 20 more minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving. Serve with creme fraiche.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more salt and pepper next time, and maybe some cheese.

Great recipe! I'm not usually a fan of eggs but this was really good. The hollandaise sauce made all the difference.

Quick, easy, and delicious! Loved that I could prepare it ahead and pop it in the oven in the morning.

I've made this dish several times now and it's always a hit! I usually use frozen spinach but fresh would be great too. I also add some diced ham or crumbled bacon for extra protein.

This is an excellent recipe for a tasty and interesting breakfast casserole. I used fresh spinach and mushrooms, and it was delicious. Next time I would try adding some cheese to the top for extra flavor.
