HOT SPINACH CHEESECAKE
60 g butter
250 ml crushed savoury biscuits (salty cracks)
250g bacon pieces
1 onion, chopped
250 g cottage cheese
125 g feta Cheese
200 ml mayonnaise
4 eggs, lightly beaten
30 ml parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 180°C. Melt butter, add crumbed biscuits & mix well. Press into a 20 cm loose bottom cake tin. Let it chill.
Boil/Steam spinach until tender, drain very well & chop roughly. Fry bacon & onion. Combine all cheese except Parmesan, mix till smooth, add Mayonnaise and eggs and beat well. Add spinach and bacon.
Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 50 – 60 minutes until until golden brown. Sprinkle with Parmesan before serving (optional).
Notes:
I rather top with cheddar cheese before baking.
Due to onion allergy I leave out the onion & sometimes add green pepper. I have also made it with broccoli instead of spinach but prefer spinach.
