Mmmm Spinach Bars!

My mom brought these tasty bars over after Blaise was born. Makes a wonderful, high protein breakfast or a lovely brunch dish! Easy and quick to make!

Spinach Bars

3 eggs

1 cup whole-wheat flour

1 cup skim milk

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. baking powder

2 T melted butter

2 boxes frozen chopped spinach (10 oz. each), defrosted, squeezed dry

1 lb. Monterrey Jack cheese, shredded (I used 2% mozzarella, I'm sure you could do cheddar too)

1 small onion, chopped

1/2 c. diced red peppers (I used Trader Joe’s tri colored frozen ones and cut them up with kitchen scissors while partly frozen)

(I added sausage last time I made it, mushrooms would also be good!)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. Whisk eggs, milk, salt, baking powder, butter, flour and several grinds of pepper in very large bowl. Add onions, spinach and cheese; mix well.

Spray a 9x13" glass baking dish. Spread spinach mixture into it. Bake for 40 minutes or until the top is a nice shade of golden brown. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting.

Enjoy!

TJ frozen bell peppers are one of the girls' absolute favorite foods. Try them with Blaise when he's ready - I think they like that they're cold, esp. when teething.
