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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, mix the beaten eggs, milk, and melted butter until combined.
Step 6
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
Step 7
Fold in the cooked spinach mixture, shredded cheddar cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed.
Step 8
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Allow the squares to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares.
Step 11
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
