Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Baking Dish

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a square baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.

2. Cook the Broccoli and Scallions

Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
Add the broccoli florets and diced scallions and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the broccoli is tender and the scallions soften.

3. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

4. Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, lightly beaten eggs, and olive oil until smooth.

5. Combine Everything

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
Fold in the sautéed broccoli and scallions, crumbled feta cheese, shredded mozzarella, and chopped dill.

6. Assemble and Bake

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Sprinkle the top with grated pecorino cheese.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Cool and Serve

Let the snack bars cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing.
Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
