If you purchased those large packages of Power Greens at Costco, this Power Greens Breakfast Casserole dish is a perfect way to use them up! And I like to start the day with a helping of healthy greens!

I love the Power Greens blend of chard, kale, and spinach that I used to get at Costco. And if you know my food preferences at all, you might not be surprised that this Power Greens Breakfast Casserole is one of the things I love to make with this delicious combination of greens. I used feta and mozzarella cheese to create a cheesy breakfast casserole that was full of flavour.
When I first made the recipe for myself, I made it four times in a row, so that’s a sign of how much I like it! Then one weekday my beloved friend Sean stayed over at my house when he was in town, and when I fed him some leftovers for breakfast, he gave the recipe a thumbs up. That’s when I realized I needed to take some pictures and share this recipe on the blog!
I actually used an entire pound of green power mix in this, which helped balance out the generous amount of cheese! I think the cheese blend here went really well with the greens, so if you like the idea of starting the day with a healthy dose of greens, give this one a try!

What is Power Greens?
Power Greens is a brand name for a packaged greens blend that contains chard, kale, spinach, and sometimes a few other greens. You can use any healthy mix of greens you like for this recipe.
Can you use other types of cheese for this recipe?
I loved the combination of feta and mozzarella cheese that made this delicious Power Greens breakfast dish. But if you’re not a fan of those cheeses or have another cheese on hand, any good-melting white cheese will taste great here.

(This is just a summary. Scroll down for the full printable recipe including nutritional information.)
- I buy my Power Greens mix at Costco, but when I googled, I found that there are a lot of companies that make a similar greens mix.
- Heat a little olive oil in a deep frying pan and add the vegetables all at once.
- Then use a large stirrer to keep tossing the greens over and over until they are all wilted.
- Place the wilted vegetables in a large glass or casserole dish that you’ve sprayed with olive oil or nonstick spray.
- Spread the crumbled feta cheese, mozzarella cubes, and sliced green onions over the wilted vegetables.
- Season to taste with freshly ground black pepper and Spike seasoning (affiliate link) Or use your favorite spice blend that goes well with eggs if you don’t have a spike.
- Beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are well blended, then pour over the greens and cheese.
- I like to use a fork and “flip” the mixture until the top of the casserole shows all of the ingredients.
- Bake at 375°F for 40-45 minutes, or until browned as desired, then serve hot.
- I use this container with an airtight lid to keep leftovers in the fridge so I can enjoy this for breakfast for days after I’ve made a big casserole like this.

Ingredients
-
1 pound salad greens mix (see notes)
-
2 tsp. olive oil (more or less, depending on the pan)
-
6 oz. mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (see notes)
-
4 oz. Vita collapsed
-
1/2 cup green onions, sliced
-
Spike seasoning to taste
-
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
-
14 eggs
instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F / 190°C. Spray a large glass or ceramic casserole dish with olive oil or nonstick spray. (My dish was 10″ x 13; if you don’t have a dish close to that size, I’d cut the recipe a bit.)
- Heat a little olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan with high sides. Turn the heat up to high, add the vegetables all at once, and then immediately use a large stirrer to stir the greens over and over until just wilted. (This will only take a minute or two, watch them carefully.)
- Put the wilted vegetables in the bottom of the casserole.
- Cut the mozzarella into cubes about 1/2 inch square (or you can use shredded mozzarella, but I like to cut the melted cheese out of the mozzarella cubes).
- Grate the feta cheese and chop enough green onions to make 12 cups.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella and feta cheese and sliced green onions over the vegetables.
- Season the mixture as desired Spike seasoning (referral link) and freshly ground black pepper. (Don’t use salt, the feta is salty enough).
- Beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are well blended, then pour over the greens/cheese mixture. Use a fork to gently “stir” the mixture so that the greens, eggs, and cheese are evenly distributed.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the mixture is set through and the top is browned to your liking.
- Serve hot with a little sour cream to taste.
- This will keep in the fridge for at least a week, and reheats well.
