Ingredients:

3 cups spinach
90g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 cup scallions
50g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tbsp dill
16g
1/2 cup feta cheese
120g
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
80g
4 eggs
200g
1/2 cup self-raising flour
72g
1.50 cups milk (1% fat)
360g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish or baking dish lightly with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Spinach:
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped scallions and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes, or until they become fragrant and soft.
3. Cook the Spinach:
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, which should take about 3-4 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. Once wilted, remove the skillet from heat and let it cool slightly.
4. Mix the Cheeses:
In a medium bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese and grated cheddar cheese. Set aside.
5. Prepare the Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, self-raising flour, and milk until smooth. There should be no lumps in the batter.
6. Combine Ingredients:
Add the sautéed spinach mixture, chopped dill, and half of the cheese mixture to the batter. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
7. Assemble the Pie:
Pour the mixture into the greased pie dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese mixture evenly over the top.
8. Bake:
Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the pie is set and golden brown on top. You can test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
9. Cool and Serve:
Allow the pie to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps it set completely and makes it easier to cut.

Tips:

- To ensure the spinach is tender, you may consider lightly steaming it before adding it to the mix.

- Feel free to substitute the feta cheese with goat cheese or ricotta for a different flavor profile.

- For a gluten-free version, you can use a gluten-free self-raising flour.

- Add a pinch of nutmeg or cayenne pepper for an extra layer of flavor.

- Ensure the eggs are at room temperature before mixing to achieve a smoother batter.

- Let the pie cool slightly before cutting into it to allow it to set properly.

This Spinach impossible pie is a versatile and nutritious dish that's easy to prepare and full of flavor. Whether you're serving it at a gathering or simply enjoying it as a meal, the combination of spinach, cheeses, and fresh herbs will surely impress. Enjoy this delightful pie warm out of the oven or even as leftovers – it's delicious either way.
