Crustless Spinach & Feta Casserole Pie
Ingredients
* 2 teaspoons olive oil
* 4 green onions or 2 shallots, chopped (I did a combination)
* 12 ounces baby spinach, fresh or frozen, roughly chopped (if frozen, defrost first)
* 1 cup all-purpose flour, oat flour, almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend (I used Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free flour blend)
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1 teaspoon sea salt
* 1 cup milk (almond, coconut, soy or regular)
* 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
* 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
* 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
* 4 ounces shredded mozzarella
* 4 ounces feta cheese
* 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Recipe Notes
* You can prepare the recipe the day before and refrigerate it, covered, then bake the following day.
* This recipe also bakes very nicely as muffins, but make sure to decrease the cooking time by half to see if they are cooked.
* My photos show a doubled recipe baked in a 13x9-inch baking pan.
* If you use a plant-based milk, make sure it is unsweetened.
Here's how to make it:
1. If you are using fresh spinach, place a frying pan on the stove on medium heat with a few tablespoons of water. Place your spinach and wilt it down stirring with a spatula every now and then.�

8. Place the fresh cooked or defrosted frozen spinach in a colander and squeeze out excess moisture. Be careful with the fresh spinach as it will be hot. Use a clean towel or paper towel to press out as much moisture as possible. Set aside.�
