Betty's spinach and feta loaf image

Greek inspired, this is a lunch box alternative for my children to sandwiches. This goes well with soup or a Greek salad ( to mop up all the juices at the end).

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/4 c flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
2 Tbsp sugar
2 eggs
1 c milk
1/4 c butter, melted
1 package frozen spinach, thawed and liquid squeezed out
200g/7 oz feta cheese (greek style, not packed in oil). chopped in small cubes
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried garlic (powdered)
1/2 tsp paprika (sweet)
1 tsp onion powder

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 320oF/160oC. Well grease and line a large bread tin or 12 jumbo muffin tins.
  • 2. Well mix the milk, eggs and butter. Set aside.
  • 3. In a large bowl, add everything else and stir well. Add the wet ingredients until JUST mixed. Pour into the prepared pan or muffin tins.
  • 4. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 1 hour if making a loaf and 20 - 25 minutes for muffins - until cooked when checked with a skewer. Cool in tin for 15 minutes before turning out.
  • 5. Cool before cutting for at least an hour or the bread will tear rather than cut. Serve with lashings of butter or creamed cheese (the latter is my favourite).
