Spinach and Feta Slice


This idea comes from Super Food Ideas, a cheap little magazine that often has clever ideas, well worth checking out.







Ingredients 

  • 1 Loaf wholemeal bread
  • olive oil cooking spray
  • 1 packet frozen spinach
  • 200g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 8 eggs
  • 1/2 thickened cream
    Method
  1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 4cm deep, 16cm x 26cm (base) slab pan.
  2.  I didn't do any of this I just layered it. Cut eight 1.5cm-thick slices from loaf. Using a rolling pin, roll out each slice until 5mm thick. Spray both sides with olive oil.
  3. Use sliced bread to line pan, overlapping bread slightly. Bake for 10 minutes or until slightly toasted.
  4. Meanwhile, place half the spinach in a microwave-safe dish. Cover. Microwave on HIGH (100%) for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until just wilted. Drain. Repeat with remaining spinach. Using your hands, squeeze excess moisture from spinach. Roughly chop.
  5. Arrange spinach evenly over bread base. Top with feta and onion. Using a fork, beat eggs, cream and salt and pepper in a large bowl until well combined. Pour over spinach mixture. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until set. Cut into slices and serve.
