Spinach Fluff

This Spinach Fluff is a comforting, old-fashioned casserole that transforms simple spinach into a rich, creamy main dish. By blending the spinach with milk, eggs, and cream of mushroom soup, you create a smooth, vibrant green batter that bakes up tender and custard-like. The addition of melted butter, garlic, and onion juice infuses every bite with savory depth, while the Parmesan cheese adds a sharp, salty finish. It&# 226;ÂÂs the perfect side dish or vegetarian main for family dinners, potlucks, or holiday tables. Light yet satisfying, it pairs beautifully with roasted meats or crusty bread to soak up the creamy juices.

Note

Ensure the spinach is well-drained before blending; excess water can make the casserole watery and prevent it from setting properly.

For a vegan variation, substitute the milk with unsweetened almond or soy milk, use a flax egg or commercial egg replacer instead of eggs, and ensure the cream of mushroom soup is vegan. Use nutritional yeast or a vegan Parmesan alternative for the cheese.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.

If you prefer a crispier top, sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese or breadcrumbs during the last 10 minutes of baking.
