Ingredients
•
1/2 cup butter, melted, divided
•
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
•
1 tablespoon olive oil
•
1 onion, chopped
•
1 cup all-purpose flour
•
1 teaspoon baking powder
•
1 teaspoon salt
•
1 cup milk
•
2 large eggs
•
1 tablespoon French herb blend
•
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
•
4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
•
2 tablespoons grated Pecorino Romano cheese
•
fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Use about 1 tablespoon of the melted butter to grease a 7x11-inch baking dish.
2
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add onions to the hot oil and cook, stirring frequently, until onions are soft and beginning to turn clear, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and add spinach. Stir spinach into the onions, breaking up any large clumps.
3
Stir together flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
4
Combine milk and eggs in a small bowl, whisking until milk and eggs are fully incorporated. Drizzle in remaining melted butter, while continuing to stir. Add to flour mixture and stir until there are no lumps.
5
Fold in spinach mixture, French herbs, feta cheese, and mozzarella. Do not over-mix. Pour into the prepared dish, using a spatula to smooth and level the surface. Sprinkle grated Pecorino Romano evenly over the top.
6
Bake in the center of the preheated oven until the top is browned, 40 to 45 minutes. Test for doneness with a wooden pick inserted into the middle. The dish is done, if the pick comes out clean.
7
Allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
8
Cut into 18 brownies and garnish with fresh parsley to serve.
