Ingredients
- 300 grams Spinach (fresh)

- 1 medium Zucchini (grated)
- 200 grams Ricotta cheese
- 100 grams Cheddar cheese (shredded)

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Fold in the wilted greens and half of the shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Step 7
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top for a crispy, golden crust.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Step 9
Allow the Green Bake to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
