Time 1h30m

Yield 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons dried Italian breadcrumbs
2/3 cup arborio rice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 (10 ounce) boxes frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
12 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
1 1/2 teaspoons crumbled dried rosemary
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups freshly grated parmesan cheese, divided
1 cup shredded smoked cheddar cheese or 1 cup extra-sharp cheddar cheese

  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat; add in the onions.
  • Stir/saute 6 minutes or until the onions are tender.
  • Add in the garlic; stir until it gives off its aroma, about 1 minute.
  • Add in the spinach; cook, stirring often, just to evaporate any remaining liquid, about 3 minutes; set mixture aside.
  • In a big bowl, whisk the eggs, basil, rosemary, salt, and pepper together; add in the rice, spinach/onion mixture, 1 cup of parmesan cheese, and the cheddar cheese; mix well.
  • Spread mixture in the baking dish; sprinkle remaining parmesan on top.
  • Bake until the torta feels firm when pressed in the center, about 45 minutes.
