Ingredients

• 450 grams fresh spinach
• 4 large eggs
• 240 ml milk
• 120 grams cheddar cheese, shredded
• 40 grams parmesan cheese, grated
• 60 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a medium-sized baking dish and set it aside.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute.

Step 3

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring until wilted. This will take about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and baking powder, then gradually whisk this mixture into the egg mixture until smooth.

Step 6

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated parmesan cheese. Fold in the spinach-onion mixture until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly using a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the spinach bake cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Busy Day Spinach Bake!
