Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Fresh spinach
- 150 grams Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 medium Chopped onion
- 75 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 large Eggs
- 240 milliliters Milk
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 30 grams Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
Wash the spinach thoroughly under cold water, and pat dry. Roughly chop if the leaves are large.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Add the spinach to the pan and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and milk together until fully combined. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients mixture, ensuring no lumps remain.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese and the spinach-onion mixture to the batter. Gently fold everything together until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish and spread it out evenly.
If desired, sprinkle the top with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor and a golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pie is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your Spinach Impossible Pie!
