Spinach Cheese based thing.

So, in much the same vein as other posts of mine have been exceedingly slow in coming, this one has been a long time in the making as well. In fact, its probably been nearly a month since I made it, but better late than never, said the late man.

Leah gets the credit for making this, but I had a go at replicating it, sans food processor over here in the boonies of Edinburgh.

Ingredients:
Some* spinach, chopped up as fine as y ou can with a dull knife.
Some* cheese, preferably mozzerella, but shredded white cheddar will do in a pinch.
1 Egg

Shred the spinach and mix thoroughly with the egg and cheese, put onto a greased baking tray, or onto a pizza stone. I don't have a pizza stone, but it might make this recipe "crisp up" a bit better on the bottom.
Cooked on about 200 C.






*I know there are 1 cup measurements for these things, but A) I hate measuring things that have the capacity to be compressed and potentially fill more than their volumetric measurements suggest, and B) I don't have a measuring cup to begin with.

So we press on!

The point of this was making a bread substitute type thing, sort of akin to a pizza crust, but without all of the flour. It was...interesting. Mine always seems to eggy or too spinach-y. It probably helps to measure it out in terms of mass, or even volume, but perhaps I'll have another go sooner or later. This attempt was more or less successful, and I used it as a foundation for eating guacamole topped with more cheese. Yeah guacamole!
