Feta cheese and broccoli combination
ingredients
- 7 oz broccoli florets
- 1 tsp oil
- 4 scallions, diced
- 3 tbs fresh dill, chopped
- 1¼ cup flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 oz feta cheese, large crumbles
- 4 oz mozzarella cheese
- 3 tbs grated pecorinio cheese
instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly spray a medium sized baking dish with olive oil. My dish was 10½ x 7½” in size.
- In a pot, bring some water to a boil. Add in your broccoli florets and 1 tsp salt. Return to a boil and after 1 minute remove the broccoli to a paper towel lined plate to dry. Give them a 5 second rough chop. Drain the same pot of its water and wipe clean. Heat the 1 tsp olive oil and saute your scallions for 1 minute on medium high heat. Remove from pot and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt. Add in the milk, eggs and 1/4 cup olive oil and mix. Batter should be somewhat thick. If batter is runny, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it thickens a bit. Lastly, fold in the feta, mozzarella, broccoli, scallions and dill. Transfer mixture to your baking dish and spread out evenly with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle the top with the grated pecorino and spray with olive oil. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until top is golden brown. Allow to cool 10 minutes in the pan and then slice and serve.
notes
I used 2 small broccoli crowns to get the 7 ounces small florets. I trimmed the large chunk stalk.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in your fridge.
If you use a larger baking dish, the bake time will be shorter, but brownies will be thinner than mine.
