Casserole "earthly taste of spring" - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use store-bought pie crust instead of making shortbread dough from scratch?

Yes, store-bought pie crust works well as a time-saving alternative to homemade shortbread dough. Just ensure it's rolled to fit your baking dish.

What can I substitute for spinach if I don't have any on hand?

Kale, Swiss chard, or even sautéed leeks make great substitutes for spinach while keeping the fresh, earthy flavor.

How can I make this casserole vegetarian-friendly?

Replace the chicken with diced mushrooms, lentils, or plant-based chicken substitute. Use vegetable cream to keep it fully vegetarian.

How long can I store leftovers in the fridge?

Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven at 160°C (320°F) for best texture.

Can I freeze this casserole for later?

Yes! Assemble unbaked, wrap tightly in foil, and freeze for up to 2 months. Bake from frozen, adding 10-15 extra minutes.

What's the best way to serve this casserole?

Pair with a light salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. It's delicious warm or at room temperature.

Can I use heavy cream instead of regular cream?

Absolutely. Heavy cream will make the filling richer, while half-and-half creates a lighter version. Both work well.

How can I make this recipe low-carb?

Skip the dough and bake the filling in a greased dish. Add an extra egg to help it set without the crust.

My zucchini releases lots of water. How can I prevent a soggy casserole?

Salt sliced zucchini and let sit for 10 minutes, then pat dry before using. This removes excess moisture.
