Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C / 400F electric or 180C / 350F fan.
- Place the spinach in a large bowl. Cover and microwave on high for 3 minutes until wilted. Alternatively, let the spinach leaves wilt in a pan with a splash of water.

- Bake for 20 - 23 minutes until golden on top, turning after 15 - 18 minutes.

- ***You can also use frozen spinach, just cook the same way and measure the quantity.
- Optional: Add a touch of salt to the mixture. I did not feel the need because the cheese is salty in itself.
