How to Make Spinach And Cheese Torta

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spray a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray.
  3. Place 10 oz fresh spinach in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, piercing several holes.
  4. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, or until spinach begins to wilt.
  5. Let stand for 5 minutes to allow spinach to wilt completely. Uncover and let cool slightly.
  6. Squeeze out excess liquid from the spinach and chop coarsely.
  7. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 large egg white, 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite Mexican blend), 1/2 cup milk, 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (or parsley), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  8. To assemble: Place 1 (6-inch) flour tortilla in the bottom of the prepared pan.
  9. Layer with half of the chopped spinach, followed by another tortilla.
  10. Add 1/2 cup of roasted red peppers (jarred or homemade), sliced.
  11. Top with another tortilla, the remaining spinach, and a final tortilla.
  12. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered tortillas.
  13. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the torta is set and the top is lightly golden.
  14. Increase oven temperature to broil.
  15. Broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  16. Let stand for 5 minutes before inverting the torta onto a cutting board. Slice into 4 wedges and serve warm.
