Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz fresh spinach
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 8 oz ricotta cheese
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 0.25 cups gluten-free flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 cups whole milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and stir occasionally until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the ricotta cheese. Stir in the shredded mozzarella, half of the Parmesan cheese, gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
Squeeze any excess moisture from the cooked spinach and add it to the cheese mixture. Stir until well combined.
Gradually stir in the milk until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious Gluten-Free Cheesy Spinach Bake!
