Recipe

Ingredients

  • 5 eggs
  • 500 grams spinach
  • 2 frozen sheets of puff pastry
  • 1 onion
  • 3 garlic cloves (or to taste)
  • Olive oil (Spanish)
  • 4 or 5 slices of cheddar cheese
  • Bread crumbs

Directions

  1. Slice the onion thinly and fry it with olive oil with the garlic in a very hot frying pan until it gives that nice fried onion smell.
  2. Toss the defrosted spinach into the frying pan and add one of the eggs to this mixture, add 2 soup spoons of bread crumbs, and mix.
  3. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes in high.
  4. Using non-stick baking paper, line the inside of the round baking tray (20 centimeter diameter will do).
  5. Lay one sheet of the puff pastry on the tray and add the mixture of spinach, onion and garlic. Break the rest of the eggs and put them on top of this mixture. Finally add the cheese slices on top of the eggs.
  6. Cover this with the second sheet of puff pastry. Cook for 35 minutes in a preheated oven at 220 degrees Celsius.
