Hey friends! My name is Tessa and I’m so excited to be guest posting here at The Freshman Cook as part of the Good Old Fashioned Recipe Swap. I run the blog over at tessacotton and I’ve created a simple fish and veggies bake (with a chicken option for those of you who don’t care for fish).
Tilapia and Spinach Bake
Ingredients:
10 oz chopped spinach (fresh or thawed and squeezed)
1 large diced tomato
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
1 cup bread crumbs (divided)
2 eggs beaten
3-4 pieces tilapia
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tbs minced garlic
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Combine 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, 2 eggs, garlic, tomatoes. spinach, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper in a med bowl, mix well.
Spread spinach mixture on the bottom of a 9×9 or similar sized pan. Arrange tilapia in a single layer on the spinach. Top with remaining breadcrumbs and shredded cheese. 
Bake 17 min or until fish is flaky and cooked through. There you have it!
**To make with chicken, preheat oven to 350 degrees, cover dish with foil, bake 35 min, remove foil for last 10 min**
