(makes 6 hearty servings)

- 1 cup almond flour or ¾ cup Einkorn Flour (choose one; see tips)
- 2 cups chopped broccoli florets (lightly steamed or blanched)
- 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheese — try Cheddar Cheese, Swiss, or mozzarella (optional)
- 1 small onion, diced (optional)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- 1 Tbsp Cultured Butter or olive oil (for sautéing)
🥄 Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Sauté veggies: Warm butter or olive oil in a skillet. Add onion and garlic; cook 2–3 minutes. Stir in spinach just until wilted.
- Prepare broccoli: Steam or blanch for 2–3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain well.
- Mix batter: In a large bowl, whisk eggs and milk. Whisk in almond flour or sift in Einkorn flour until smooth. Add salt, pepper, and seasoning.
- Assemble: Spread the broccoli and spinach mixture evenly in the baking dish. Pour the egg–flour batter over the vegetables. Sprinkle cheese on top if using.
- Bake: 35–40 minutes, until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
- Cool & slice: Let stand 5–10 minutes before cutting.
💡 Tips & Notes
- Almond flour keeps the bake gluten-free, moist, and lightly nutty.
- Einkorn Flour (an ancient wheat) gives a heartier, bread-pudding texture and more fiber.
- Add ½ tsp baking powder if you prefer a fluffier rise.
