Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of chopped spinach, 1/2 cup of shredded cheese, 1/4 cup of milk, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until well mixed.
- Add the chopped spinach and shredded cheese to the dry mixture. Gently fold them in to ensure an even distribution throughout the flour mixture.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the milk and olive oil. Whisk these wet ingredients together until they are fully blended.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Prepare a microwave-safe dish or bowl by lightly greasing it with a bit of olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Transfer the spinach and cheese mixture into the greased microwave-safe dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Cover the dish with a microwave-safe lid or plate to trap steam, which will help the bread cook evenly.
- Microwave the dish on high for about 5 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean. If needed, microwave for an additional minute.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the dish from the microwave (it will be hot!). Let it sit for a minute to cool slightly before serving.
- Cut the spinach-filled bread into portions and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious and quick spinach-filled bread!
Tips
- Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and nutrition. If using frozen spinach, make sure to drain it completely to prevent excess moisture.
- Don't overmix the batter - this can make your bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- The cooking time may vary slightly depending on your microwave's power. Start with 5 minutes and check for doneness.
- For extra flavor, consider adding garlic powder or dried herbs to the dry ingredients.
- Let the bread rest for a minute after cooking to allow it to set and cool slightly.
- If you want a crispy top, you can briefly broil the bread in an oven after microwaving.
- This recipe is versatile - experiment with different cheeses like feta or mozzarella for varied flavors.
