Greek Spinach Kugel has layers of cheese, spinach and gluten free matzoh crackers packed with fresh herbs and spices for a totally delicious side dish.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 9 baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine spinach, ricotta, milk, parsley, oregano, garlic powder and 8 ounces of crumbled feta. Taste and season with salt and pepper. If it seems very dry, add a tablespoon or two of additional milk. Set aside.
In a medium sized, heavy bottomed saucepan, melt butter and garlic over medium heat. Once garlic is softened slightly (but not browned at all), sprinkle with flour and stir to combine. Add half and half or cream and stir to eliminate lumps. Allow it to thicken, then add cheese, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
Gather all of your remaining ingredients, spinach filling, white sauce and greased baking dish. Begin to layer ingredients starting with ½ of the white sauce, then 1 full sheet of matzo, ½ of the spinach, another sheet of matzo, the remaining white sauce, the remaining spinach filling, then sprinkle with the remaining 4 ounces of crumbled feta and 1 cup of shredded Parmigiano Reggiano.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until lightly browned and heated through. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before cutting and serving.
Notes
Passover note: Bob's Red Mill GF 1 to 1 flour is Kosher, but not certified Kosher for Passover. It does not contain any of the forbidden grains for Passover, it is made with rice, potato, sorghum, tapioca & xanthan gum. If you want a Kosher for Passover certified substitute for it in this recipe, I would suggest arrowroot starch. Here is a link to one you can buy on Amazon Rories Arrowroot If you are looking for a Kosher for Passover Feta cheese, follow this link to TNUVA Hope this helps & feel free to email me with any questions!
