Broccoli and Feta Loaf is a savory, wholesome bake that combines tender broccoli florets with creamy, tangy feta cheese in a soft, sliceable loaf. Perfect for brunch, light lunches, or a satisfying vegetarian dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups broccoli florets, finely chopped
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Steam or lightly blanch the broccoli for 3–4 minutes until just tender. Drain well and allow to cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and olive oil until smooth.
  4. Stir in diced onion, minced garlic, chopped broccoli, and crumbled feta.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Drain broccoli thoroughly to prevent excess moisture in the loaf.
  • Add fresh herbs like parsley or dill for extra flavor.
  • Substitute half the flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier texture.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze individual slices for up to 2 months.
