Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 cups fresh spinach
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or a little olive oil.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
In a small bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and baking powder, then stir this mixture into the egg mixture to ensure it's well blended.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and the sautéed spinach and onion mixture into the egg mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Easy Spinach Brunch Bake!
