Servings 6 servings
Calories 115kcal
Ingredients
- 20 oz frozen chopped spinach thawed and squeezed dry
- 1/2 large white or yellow onion chopped
- 1 Tbsp canola or olive oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup matzah meal
- 1 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F.
- Heat the oil in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Drain the thawed spinach in a colander and squeeze out the liquid a few times, until it's as dry as possible. (I start this an hour ahead.)
- In a large bowl, combine the spinach, onion, salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, beat the eggs well. Slowly add the spinach mixture to the eggs, whisking constantly so the eggs don't scramble.
- Add the matzah meal and give it one final mix.
- Spray a baking dish with cooking spray (I used a 6-inch round dish). Spread the mixture in and smooth the top.
- Bake 30–35 minutes, until firm and the edges start to crisp. Let cool a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
