Girly Gourmet: Prejesnas

Posted on 11. Mar, 2010 by Kadi in Gourmet Gals

Our girly friend, Janis, sent us this yummy recipe: Warning: Don’t try to pronounce it, just make it. Trust me, you’ll love it!

This is a baking recipe…sort of quiche like but not all eggy and bland. It is a perfect brunch dish or vegetarian dinner.

Prejesnas (Pre-Hes-Nas) I have no idea where the name comes from I have Googled it to no avail. Recipe was handed down to me from my Aunt, she got it from a college roommate.

So here goes:

1 cup flour

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 lb cheddar cheese, grated

1 c. milk

1/2 medium onion, diced fine

2 eggs, slightly beaten

1/2 bunch fresh spinach, or 1 pkg frozen (thawed)

1/2 c. melted margarine

Mix dry ingredients, add beaten eggs, milk, melted margarine, and stir. (I like using a wooden spoon to get the lumps out.)

Add cheese, chopped spinach and onion. Pour into greased 12X7 pan. Bake @ 375 degrees for 35 minutes.

FYI: I tend to feed a lot of people so I double this entire recipe (using a whole bag of packaged fresh Spinach), pour into a 9X13 casserole dish and cook for about 50 minutes, until nice & golden on the top.

Occasionally I get extra creative and and chopped bacon bits if it’s for brunch, or fresh sliced mushrooms…you get the idea

As a bonus it also photographs well
