Baked Spinach
Description
A simple baked dish that includes spinach, egg, and cheese, similar to a quiche, frittata. This is a family favourite.
Ingredients:
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 177ºc/ 350 ºF.
-
Steam the spinach over boiling water for 5 minutes (or in a microwave steamer for 2 minutes). Do not boil it in water.
-
Meanwhile, chop the shallots and green chilli. (I add both to the mini processor)
-
Once steamed, take roughly half the amount of steamed spinach and blend it into a smooth puree. (I do this in the same mini processor)
-
Add eggs to a bowl and beat well. Next, add both flours and beat again till there are no more lumps. (I use the immersion blender attachment here- its easier than using a beater)
-
Add the pureed spinach along with salt and pepper (or seasoning powder preferred).
-
Also add the chopped ingredients (chopped steamed spinach, shallots, green chili), grated coconut & cheese.
-
Mix everything well with a spoon. Taste and adjust seasoning.
-
Pour into a lightly greased baking dish.
-
Scatter the nuts over the mixture.
-
Bake for 30 - 40 minutes ( this varies from oven to oven - bake till the top is set without any darkening on top or sides).
Note
- For seasoning powder, you can add chicken stock powder or any salted seasoning mix you like. I like to add the following mix: 1/8 tsp white pepper powder, 1/8 tsp garlic powder, tiny pinch ginger powder, 1/8 tsp onion powder, 1/3 tsp powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp salt.
- Allow the baked spinach to rest a while before serving. This allows the flavors to blend well.
- If reheating the next day I like to sprinkle a little salt , pepper or my favorite soup seasoning. Yum!
