Heritage Recipe: Spinach Rice Casserole {vegetarian, Gluten-free}

3 cups cooked rice {She used white, I use brown}

1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained (no need to squeeze it bone dry)

4 tablespoons butter, melted

1 tablespoon finely minced onion {I use ¼ cup chopped shallot or onion}

½ teaspoon salt {I use seasoned salt}

¾ pound (12 ounces) grated sharp Cheddar cheese (I used 10 ounces Kerrygold Reserve Cheddar}

1 cup milk

4 eggs

Heat oven to 350F degrees. Lightly mist a casserole dish with nonstick spray. I usually use a pretty oval dish, but you could use an 8- or 9-inch square dish if you like.
In a large bowl, add cooked rice, spinach, butter, onion, salt and cheese. In a 4-cup measure, pour milk and add eggs. Whisk to combine. Pour into the bowl with rice-spinach mixture and stir well to combine.
Pour into prepared casserole dish and bake for 45 minutes.
Remove from oven and serve.
Serves 6.
