Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Peel the cooked potatoes and slice them. Sort the fresh spinach, wash it, and blanch it for about 3 minutes. Gently steam the frozen spinach in a pan until thawed. Wash the fish fillet, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with lemon juice. Wash, dry, and finely chop the mint or lemon balm (depending on taste). In a bowl, whisk together the cheese, eggs, crème fraîche, herbs, and water to form a creamy cheese. Grease a baking dish and layer the potato slices. Spread half of the creamy cheese over the potatoes, then layer the spinach on top. Season with salt and pepper, and pour the melted butter over the cheese. Place the fish fillet on top of the spinach and cover with the remaining creamy cheese. Preheat the oven to about 220°C and bake the casserole for about 20-30 minutes.
