Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh spinach
- 4 large eggs
- 240 ml milk
- 120 grams cheddar cheese, shredded
- 40 grams parmesan cheese, grated
- 60 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a medium-sized baking dish and set it aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring until wilted. This will take about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and baking powder, then gradually whisk this mixture into the egg mixture until smooth.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated parmesan cheese. Fold in the spinach-onion mixture until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the spinach bake cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Busy Day Spinach Bake!
