INSTRUCTIONS

 

 

Prepare the batter:

• In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, yogurt, grated or crumbled cheese, salt, baking powder, flour, and oil until a smooth, homogeneous batter forms.
• Divide the mixture evenly into two bowls—one for the white layer and one for the green layer

Prepare the green layer:

• Blend the spinach, water, and flour in a blender or food processor until smooth.
• Stir the spinach mixture into one of the bowls of batter until fully incorporated.

Assemble the loaf:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).
• Line a loaf tin with parchment paper.
• Pour half of the spinach batter into the prepared tin, followed by half of the white batter.
• Repeat the layering process with the remaining batter.

Bake:

• Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the loaf rises, cracks slightly on the surface, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool & Serve:

• Let the loaf cool completely before slicing. Serve as a savory snack, appetizer or side dish.
