For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the rice in the skillet with the aromatics before adding the broth. Ensure the spinach is thoroughly squeezed dry to prevent a watery casserole. Feel free to substitute brown rice for a nuttier flavor, but adjust cooking time accordingly. You may need to add more broth. If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, you can transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish before baking.

A symphony of flavors awaits in this creamy rice casserole, where the earthiness of spinach dances with the salty tang of feta, brightened by the zest of lemon and a whisper of dill. Sun-dried tomatoes add a burst of concentrated sweetness, creating a dish that's both comforting and vibrant.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large, oven-safe skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the scallions, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and oregano. Cook, stirring frequently, until the scallions have softened, about 2 minutes.
03
StepAdd the squeezed-dry spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until any remaining moisture has evaporated, approximately 5-6 minutes.
04
StepStir in the vegetable broth, rice, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and 1 cup of the crumbled feta cheese. Bring the mixture to a simmer over high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
05
StepStir in the chopped fresh dill, then evenly distribute the remaining 1/2 cup of feta cheese over the top of the casserole.
06
StepTransfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until the rice is tender and the feta cheese is golden brown and bubbly, about 20 minutes.

Apr 7, 2025I used brown rice and it turned out great, but I did need to add about 1/2 cup more broth. Will definitely make again!
