By Lv2Cook

Ingredients

• 1 (10-ounce) bag fresh spinach
• Cooking spray
• 2/3 cup chopped onion
• 1/4 cup tub-style light cream cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup (1/4-inch-thick) sliced tomato
• 1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375º.

Remove large stems from spinach. Tear spinach into 1-inch pieces; place in a colander. Rinse spinach under cold water; drain. Set aside.

Place a large Dutch oven coated with cooking spray over medium heat until hot. Add onion; sauté 3 minutes. Add spinach; cover and cook 2 minutes or until spinach wilts. Add cream cheese, oregano, salt, and pepper. Uncover and cook an additional minute or until cream cheese melts. Spoon spinach mixture into a 1-quart gratin dish or shallow casserole coated with cooking spray. Arrange tomato slices in a single layer on top of spinach, and sprinkle with breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Bake at 375º for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
