Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  5. Step 5: Add the cooked shallots and spinach to the egg mixture. Fold in the crumbled feta, chopped scallions, and diced tomatoes.
  6. Step 6: Lightly spray your baking dish with olive oil spray. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared dish.
  7. Step 7: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until the casserole is set and lightly golden on top.
  8. Step 8: Let cool for a few minutes, cut into squares, and serve warm.

Notes
