Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Spinach (fresh)
- 200 grams Kale (trimmed and chopped)
- 1 medium Zucchini (grated)
- 200 grams Ricotta cheese
- 100 grams Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 3 large Eggs
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 50 grams Breadcrumbs
- 25 grams Parmesan cheese (grated)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the spinach and kale to the skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes until wilted, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and drain any excess liquid.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. Stir in the ricotta cheese, minced garlic, grated zucchini, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Fold in the wilted greens and half of the shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top for a crispy, golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Allow the Green Bake to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
