Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 oz frozen spinach
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 stick butter
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Thaw the frozen spinach and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Set aside.
Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop and set it aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground black pepper.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the thawed spinach and shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the spinach squares to cool for 10 minutes in the pan before cutting them into 12 pieces.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
