Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with the melted butter, ensuring it's evenly coated.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until combined.
In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and milk together until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, stirring until smooth.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped spinach, ensuring the spinach is evenly dispersed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the dish cool for 10 minutes.
Cut the baked mixture into 12 squares. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor.
