Breakfast Casserole with Spinach and Goat Cheese will be a hit with everyone who likes creamy melted goat cheese, and this is so delicious!

PIN Breakfast Casserole with Spinach and Goat Cheese!

Today I’m excited to be updating the photos for this Breakfast Casserole with Spinach and Goat Cheese. I first made this nearly ten years ago, and  if you’re a goat cheese fan like I am, trust me when I say the creamy melted goat cheese makes this so, so delicious, and the addition of cottage cheese bumps up the protein! 

When I updated the recipe with Kara to get the greatly-improved photos, we did end up switching it up a bit to see if we could make the recipe more user-friendly. The original recipe had leeks, which we replaced with sliced green onions. We also made this into a Weekend Food Prep suitable breakfast casserole that makes 8 servings (and I’ve been enjoying the leftovers for a few days!) You can still see the printer-friendly version of the original recipe if you’d like to compare or were a fan of the original recipe!

I hope people will enjoy this new-and-improved breakfast casserole with spinach, and it’s super low in carbs for those who care about that (check out the nutritional information).

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 35 minutes

Total Time 55 minutes

This Breakfast Casserole with Spinach, Cottage Cheese, and Goat Cheese is a tasty idea for a healthy breakfast and this makes enough to enjoy leftovers for a few days.

Ingredients

• 1 cup cottage cheese, rinsed with cold water and drained well (see notes)
• 6 oz. crumbled goat cheese (see notes)
• 1 T olive oil
• 10 oz. baby spinach leaves, washed and dried if needed
• 12 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup sliced green onions
• 1 tsp. Spike Seasoning (or use any other all-purpose seasoning that tastes good with eggs)
• fresh ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375F/190C and spray a 9" x 12" casserole dish with non-stick spray or olive oil.
2. Rinse the cottage cheese with cold water and let drain, leaving the curds to use in the recipe.
3. Remove goat cheese from the fridge, cut off 6 ounces, and immediately crumble the goat cheese. (It will get too soft to crumble if it sits out at room temperature.)
4. Beat eggs well and slice the green onions.
5. Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan and cook the spinach just enough to wilt it (less than 2 minutes).
6. Put wilted spinach in the bottom of the casserole dish.
7. Top spinach with the drained cottage cheese.
8. Then add the crumbled goat cheese.
9. Sprinkle with sliced green onions, Spike Seasoning (affiliate link) or another all-purpose seasoning, and black pepper to taste.
10. Pour the beaten eggs over the veggies and cheese, then use a fork to stir slightly so the vegetables and cheese are well-distributed in the eggs
11. Bake 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the casserole is lightly browned. The casserole will be puffed up a little when you take it out, but it settles down as it cools a bit.
12. Serve hot, with sour sour cream to add at the table if desired!

Notes

Use full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese, whichever you prefer. Be sure to crumble the goat cheese while it's still cold from the fridge.
