Caught somewhere between a souffle and a quiche, this casserole is pure cheesy comfort food. It’s hearty, filling, and oh so satisfying!

Yield: 9 servings

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 lb ground lamb
  • 1 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 8 large eggs
  • 9 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced
  • 5 oz sheep milk feta, crumbled
  • salt

Optional spices:

  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp. dried dill
  • black pepper

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  2. Butter a 2 1/2 qt. casserole dish.
  3. Brown the ground lamb, and spices if using, in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  4. Drain any excess liquid from the pan.
  5. Spoon the lamb into the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
  6. Pressing down gently, place the slices of mozzarella evenly across the top of the meat. I used pre-sliced mozzarella. If you have an unsliced log, cut it into 1/4″ thick slices.
  7. In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt and eggs until smooth.
  8. Mix the crumbled feta into the egg and yogurt mixture, and pour it evenly over the top of the casserole.
  9. Bake in the center of the preheated oven for about 90 minutes, or until fully set and golden brown on top.
  10. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
