Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh spinach leaves
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 100 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 60 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and lightly grease a muffin tin or line it with silicone muffin cups.
Wash the spinach thoroughly, remove the stems, and sauté it in a large skillet over medium heat with the olive oil until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Once cooled, transfer the spinach to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. Chop the spinach finely and place it in a mixing bowl.
In the same bowl, add the eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined.
Scoop the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, pressing down gently to pack it tightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the cakes firm up.
Allow the spinach cakes to rest for 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the tin.
Serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or snack. Optionally, garnish with extra Parmesan or serve with a dipping sauce.
