Easy Spinach Souffle Recipe

This easy weeknight side dish is very easy to make and delicious. The perfect recipe to bake in the oven and entertain with. I cooked this last night and my husband ate that huge casserole you see in the picture.

He didn’t even imagine it was that good until he tried it. Creamy layers of spinach with a toasty topping that puffs up nicely and airy. If you are hosting a dinner party or attending a pot luck dinner, impress your family and friends with a yummy spring dish.

Spinach is one of those vegetables that are so versatile. You can eat it raw, sautéed, baked, fried, etc. It’s full of iron and other great vitamins and it’s a very easy product to work with. Heck, remember Popeye? He was a fan of Spinach too 🙂

To me, the best party recipes are the ones I can make in advance. The idea is to enjoy family and guests without spending all night cooped up in the kitchen.

This Spinach Souffle Recipe can be made in advance and simply finish the last 2 steps just before serving. If you’d like, you can add some cheese and other veggies. In my personal opinion, I prefer it without it so I can really taste the spinach and their creaminess.

I like to serve it in a nice square casserole pan that’s pretty enough to bring to the table.

The process is fairly simple for a Souffle, it’s definitely a Bechamel base with eggs and spinach. So if you’ve made Bechamel before then this recipe is definitely a no-brainer for you.

If you haven’t, then you will enjoy making it for the first time. It is so easy that I let my husband do the stirring all by himself.

I hope you can make this delicious Spinach Souffle Recipe at home. If you do, please tag me on Instagram @livingsweetmoments and/or use the hashtag #LivingSweet

    Should the spinach in the Spinach Souffle be chopped ?
    Thank You

      Yes Florence. The frozen variety always comes cooked and chopped. All you have to do for this recipe is to thaw it and drain well the excess liquid

    Thank you for an amazing recipe! It was my first attempt at baking a soufflé and it turned out beautiful – and scrumptious. Between my 4 y/o kid, my picky husband and me we ate the whole thing for dinner tonight! I sprinkled finely grated Parmesan on top, other than that followed the exact recipe.

      You can Becky, just make sure you dry the spinach completely before adding it to the Souffle

    Does the shape of the baking dish matter? I think mine is 6×10 or something instead of 8×8. Also when you say “place the soufflé base onto an 8×8 baking pan…,” you just mean to place the mixture into the baking dish, right? Thanks!!

      July 15, 2018 at 10:28 am

      Stephanie, it matters in the baking time. If yours is a little deeper and narrower it may take a few more minutes in the oven. Or less if your dish is shallow and oblong.
      And to the second question yes. Just dump the mixture in the baking pan.
      If you have any more questions please let me know!

    I’m a Celiac who just had dental surgery, and I was desperate for a soft meal that wasn’t awful. I substituted the flour with Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free 1:1 Baking Flour and my souffle was gorgeous! I was so excited until I tasted it. The flavors did not incorporate well. The nutmeg and the butter were standing alone. I threw mine out after a few bites. Since everyone else’s turned out, I guess this recipe is not tweakable to be Gluten-Free friendly.

      Oh I am so sorry the recipe didn’t work for you Joy! My mom is GF as well, so I am going to play around with the ingredients to see if I can make a gorgeous gf spinach souffle. Stay tuned.

        It was like gravy with spinach. I knew when I was making it that it shouldn’t have flour in it.

    I found this recipe to be too floury and tasteless. I usually make it from scratch. My recipe tastes much better. I use 5 eggs and just two-three tbsp of flour.

    I have looked through many recipes for spinach soufflé & finally found this one that used beaten egg whites, That is what I wanted. Not the cheese recipes. Going to make it today. Have not made it in a long time. Love this recipe. Thank you. This is like what my mother used to make back in the 1940’s. & I am in my 80th year.

      Hi Paula! Yes, this is a vintage recipe, the eggwhites provide a fluffier texture and gives it that real souffle feel. Let me know how it comes out!

    Is it going to deflate on the way? Would it be OK to transport?

    Wow! So delicious. Thank you for an awesome recipe. I substituted oatmilk for the milk, a mix of quinoa flour / and a gluten free blend, and I used 2 tbsp of canola oil & a tbsp of earth balance. I also blanched fresh spinach – easy and awesome to have fresh spinach. A winner!! I will make again and again.
