Spring has sprung! It seems like overnight the farmer’s market is suddenly bursting with lettuce, spinach, and strawberries. I can finally get started on the spring recipes from Simply in Season like this one.
FOR PRINTABLE VERSION CLICK HERE: Spinach Squares
3 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 cups cheese (shredded)
8 ounces fresh spinach washed, dried and torn
1. Mix together everything except the cheese and spinach.
2. Mix in the cheese and spinach, and press into a greased square baking pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350F until a knife comes out clean, about 30-35 minutes 40-45 minutes.
Servings: 4
The Verdict: Very tasty and filling, the spinach is not overpowering at all. DH added even more cheese on top after it was cooked. It kind of reminds me of a crustless quiche, except a bit of a crust is formed where the bottom touches the stone while baking. (I do most of my baking in stoneware).

This is the first thing I have made from SIS that was really disappointing. Even my hubby who loves and eats anything barely touched it. I thought it was so flavorless. I might try in again and add a lot of fresh basil. The thing needed some spices!!
That’s odd. Maybe because I used a little extra cheese.
Looks like a great snack. I’m sure the type of cheese added greatly affects the taste.
Oh, I like these very much! I just bought spinach this weekend and now I know exactly what to do with it! Lovely! 🙂
oh, wow — that looks like something we’d love!! Thanks 🙂
This sounds delish! I love spinach!! 😀
Thanks for sharing! Have a great day!

These look super yummy. Thanks for the recipe!
Delicious.
Looks delicious to me…I’m sure I’d up the cheese, too…must try!
I made this tonight. At the last minute I added a layer of leftover browned ground beef on the bottom and threw in some leftover chopped onion. It was fantastic. It is a little odd that there isn’t even salt and pepper in this recipe. I maxed out the cheese, used sharp cheddar.
great idea! I think it might even be good with other random vegetables thrown in, like tomatoes when they come into season.
This sounds so good, how about using sheep cheese feta instead, that’s the only cheese we currently eat.
Will have to try this recipe
