Ingredients
Scale
- 1 onion
- 2 cups chopped spinach (fresh or thawed from frozen, well-drained)
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Black pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- 1/4 cup oil (50 ml)
- 1/2 cup milk (80 ml)
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (8 g)
- Triangular cheese slices (for topping, as desired)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In a pan, sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add the chopped spinach and cook for 1–2 minutes just to wilt it. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, oil, milk, and cream cheese until well combined.
- Stir in the flour and baking powder to form a smooth, thick batter.
- Fold in the sautéed spinach and onion mixture.
- Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and smooth the top.
- Place triangular cheese slices on top, pressing them lightly into the surface.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Frozen spinach works just as well as fresh — just be sure to squeeze out all excess water.
- You can add chopped herbs like dill, parsley, or green onion for extra flavor.
- This casserole stores well in the fridge and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of chili flakes or paprika to the batter.
