Spinach, Ham and Cauliflower Rice Casserole

Casserole, Ham, Vegetable Use-Up

Ingredients:

  • 10 ounce package frozen spinach thawed and squeezed dry (fresh would work too!)
  • 1 cups cooked cauliflower rice can be fresh or leftover
  • ⅔ cup unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup sharp white cheddar cheese shredded, divided
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded, divided
  • ½ teaspoons salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • ½ lb cooked ham diced

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F degrees.
  2. Squeeze out as much water as possible from the thawed spinach.
  3. In a large bowl, combine spinach, cauliflower rice, milk, eggs, ⅓ cup of the cheddar, ⅓ cup of the mozzarella cheese, salt, and pepper.
  4. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant and beginning to brown.
  5. Add the wine to the garlic mixture and cook about 3 minutes or until the wine is evaporated.
  6. Add the diced ham and cook about 2 minutes or until the ham is thoroughly warmed.
  7. Stir the ham mixture into the spinach mix and stir to combine.
  8. Transfer to a small casserole dish (I used a 7×11 pan) and sprinkle remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheeses on top.
  9. Bake 25-30 minutes or until the casserole has browned on top.
