Instructions
This lazy green banitsa can be made in two ways – either add blanched spinach directly to the batter, or sauté it in advance with a little fat and chopped onion.
- Once you have sautéed the onion and blanched spinach, prepare the batter.
- Crack the eggs. Add the crumbled cheese.
- Whisk the yogurt with the baking soda and add it, together with the oil.
- Add the flour. If needed, add a little more than 2 cups of flour – it depends on how big your eggs are and the weight of your yogurt tub (400 g or 370 g). The batter will show you how to proceed.
- Finally add the spinach and onion.
- Mix carefully, pour into a greased baking tray and bake in a preheated oven.
