It also has over 10 grams of protein, so it’s a great healthy choice when you want something warm and tasty this winter. It’s easy to make, and can be prepared and cooked in just 45 minutes. This recipe makes about 6 servings, so it’s a great healthy meal for the whole family to enjoy!

What you’ll need:

  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 180 grams fresh baby spinach
  • 2 large eggs
  • Half a cup of flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • One and 1/3 cups of non-fat milk
  • Half a cup of feta cheese
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)


Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius and lightly grease a small baking dish. 
  2. Cook the diced onion in a frying pan on medium heat until soft and translucent. Add in the spinach and cook until it shrinks. Set both aside to cool for a few minutes.
  3. Mix together the eggs, flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the milk, then stir in the spinach and onion mixture.
  4. Pour into the prepared baking dish and top with feta cheese. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the outside edge is golden brown and the centre is set.
  5. Let cool for five minutes, then slice into six equal pieces and serve!
