Ingredients

• 300 grams Spinach (fresh)
• 200 grams Kale (trimmed and chopped)
• 1 medium Zucchini (grated)
• 200 grams Ricotta cheese
• 100 grams Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 3 large Eggs
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 50 grams Breadcrumbs
• 25 grams Parmesan cheese (grated)

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.
