SPINACH SQUARES
Note: Recipe from OrganizedJen's Grandma
Makes about 60 Spinach Squares

20 ounces Frozen Chopped Spinach
1 cup All Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 pound Shredded Pepper Jack Cheese
¬Ω cup Chopped Onion
3 large Eggs
1 cup Milk
4 tablespoons Salted Butter

* You may substitute Monterey Jack cheese for less spice *

Thaw the spinach & squeeze out as much of the liquid as possible. Place in a large mixing bowl.

Preheat oven to 350° with the rack positioned in the center.

Using a stand or handhold mixer, mix the dry ingredients with the spinach on low speed until incorporated. Add the cheese and then the remaining wet ingredients to the mixture in increments, mixing between each addition until incorporated.

Cut the butter into small pats & position along a 9x13" baking dish. Put the dish in the oven for a few minutes, removing when the butter has melted. Add the spinach mixture to the hot baking dish with the melted butter. Even out with a spatula.

Bake at 350° for 40-50 minutes or until slightly browned and bubbling rapidly along the edges. Allow to cool completely before cutting & storing. Thawed Spinach Squares can be reheated on a greased cookie sheet at 350° for 15 minutes or until hot.
