I wasn’t sure what to serve this with or how to expect this to turn out. It’s delicious hot, room temp and cold! I tasted it hot out the oven then served some room temp on a cheese board of appetizers I made. I couldn’t get enough of it. I need to make another batch and do a poached egg on top with a hollandaise sauce. The options are endless and I can’t wait to make this again.
Spinach and Feta Brownies
(Adapted from Hungry Happenings)
2 tsp olive oil
4 scallions, diced
10 oz baby spinach, rough chop
2 tbs dill, chopped
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup butter, melted
4 oz shredded mozzarella
4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
2 tbs grated parmesan cheese
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly spray a medium size baking dish with olive oil. Mine was 10.5 x 7.5 inches.
In a large, deep pan, heat 1 tsp oil on medium. Cook your scallions until they soften: 1 or 2 minutes. Add half the spinach and sauté until mostly wilted, season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove to a colander to drain and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess liquids. Add the remaining oil to your pan and repeat the process with the remaining spinach.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the milk, eggs, butter and mix. Lastly fold in the spinach mixture, dill, mozzarella and feta until just combined. Transfer to your baking dish and spread out evenly. Sprinkle top with grated Parmesan and bake for 40-45 minutes or until top turns golden brown.
Remove from oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes prior to slicing.
