Time 1h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 (10 ounce) box frozen spinach, thawed and well drained (squeeze out any excess moisture completely with hands!)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons oil
3 roasted red peppers, sliced (purchase a jar and pick out three peppers, then slice into 1/4-inch wide strips)
3 medium leeks, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic (or to taste)
1 cup whipping cream
4 large eggs
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 cups swiss cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons salt (or to taste, I use seasoning salt)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, to taste
parmesan cheese, for top

Steps:

Set oven to 350 degrees.
Butter a 11 x 7-inch baking dish (or you can use a 13 x 9-inch, but the casserole will be flatter).
Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add in the spinach; saute the spinach for about 4 minutes; remove to a bowl and set aside.
To the same skillet (adding in more butter and/or oil if needed) add in the leeks and garlic; cook for about 6 minutes, or until soft; remove the skillet from the heat.
In a bowl whisk together whipping cream and eggs, then add in ricotta cheese, Swiss cheese and Parmesan cheese, salt and cayenne pepper or black pepper, then add in the sauteed spinach, leek/garlic mixture and the sliced roasted peppers; mix well to combine.
Transfer the mixture to prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake for about 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Sprinkle with more roasted peppers on top if desired and serve.
Delicious!

Tips:

Select the Right Peppers: Use fresh, firm, and brightly colored bell peppers for the best flavor and texture.
Prepare Peppers Properly: Cut the peppers evenly so they cook uniformly. Removing the ribs and seeds allows for more filling.
Don't Overcook the Peppers: Cook the peppers until they are slightly tender but still have a slight crunch.
Use High-Quality Cheese: Use a flavorful cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or feta.
Season the Filling Generously: Don't be afraid to use plenty of herbs and spices to flavor the filling. Consider adding garlic, onion, cumin, paprika, or chili powder.
Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake the casserole until the top is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve with Sides: Serve the casserole with a side salad, roasted vegetables, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Bulgarian pepper and cheese casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its vibrant colors and irresistible flavor, this casserole is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So gather your ingredients and give this recipe a try - you won't be disappointed!
