  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 teaspoons oil for cooking and texture

4 scallions, diced for flavor and crunch

10 ounces (283.5 g) baby spinach, roughly chopped for vitamins and green element

2 tablespoons dill, chopped for fresh aromatic note

1 cup (125 g) flour for base structure

1 teaspoon baking powder for rising and fluffiness

1 teaspoon salt for balancing flavors

1 cup (244 g) milk of choice for moisture and creaminess

2 eggs, lightly beaten for binding and tender consistency

1/4 cup (56.75 g) butter, melted (or olive oil as an alternative) for richness and golden top

4 ounces (113.4 g) mozzarella cheese for gooey center

4 ounces (113.4 g) feta cheese, crumbled for tangy flavor

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese for crispy flavorful crust

Instructions

1-First Step: Preheat and Prepare Your Dish Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F and lightly oil a medium baking dish that’s about 10.5 x 7.5 inches. This step ensures even cooking and prevents sticking, making your spinach brownies easy to remove later. Gather all your ingredients now to keep things organized and reduce any last-minute rush.

2-Second Step: Cook the Scallions and Spinach Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large deep pan over medium heat, then add the 4 diced scallions. Cook them for 1-2 minutes until they soften, which builds a flavorful base for your feta brownies. Next, add half of the 10 ounces of roughly chopped baby spinach and sauté until it’s mostly wilted, seasoning with a bit of salt and pepper for taste; remember to drain and pat it dry to remove excess liquid, which helps keep the texture just right.

3-Third Step: Handle the Remaining Spinach Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to the pan and repeat the process with the other half of the spinach. Sauté until wilted, then season again and drain it well. This method ensures all your spinach is evenly cooked and incorporated, enhancing the health benefits of these spinach brownies without making them watery. For dietary tweaks, like a vegan version, you can adjust oils here to fit your preferences.

4-Fourth Step: Mix the Dry Ingredients In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup (125 g) of your chosen flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. This creates the foundation for your batter, ensuring it’s light and well-mixed. If you’re making gluten-free spinach brownies, swap in almond flour or gluten-free options as needed to keep it adaptable.

5-Fifth Step: Add Wet Ingredients and Combine To the bowl, add 1 cup (244 g) milk of choice, 2 lightly beaten eggs, and 1/4 cup (56.75 g) melted butter, then mix everything well. This step brings the batter together, making it smooth and ready for the veggies and cheese. If you’re opting for a healthier twist, substitute butter with olive oil to experiment with flavors in your savory spinach brownies.

6-Sixth Step: Fold in the Goodies Fold in the cooked spinach mixture, 2 tablespoons chopped dill, 4 ounces (113.4 g) mozzarella cheese, and 4 ounces (113.4 g) crumbled feta cheese until just combined. Be gentle to keep the cheese melty and the herbs fresh, which boosts the distinctive flavor of these feta brownies. This is a great spot to add personal touches, like more herbs for extra zest.

7-Final Step: Bake and Serve Spread the mixture evenly in your prepared baking dish and sprinkle 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese on top for that irresistible crusty finish. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the top turns golden brown, then cool for 15 minutes before slicing.
