Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Thaw the frozen chopped spinach and drain it thoroughly by pressing it into a strainer or squeezing out the excess water with a clean kitchen towel.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave and set it aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Stir in the milk and melted butter.
Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Add the drained spinach, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the mixture. Stir everything together until fully incorporated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges pull slightly away from the sides of the dish.
Allow the spinach squares to cool in the baking dish for 5 minutes, then cut into 12 equal squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
