Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh spinach, chopped
- 125 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 large Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 Eggs, beaten
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 200 grams Shredded cheddar cheese
- 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 60 grams Butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, mix the beaten eggs, milk, and melted butter until combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
Fold in the cooked spinach mixture, shredded cheddar cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the squares to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
