    How much does 6 packets amount to in grams or cups?

  2. Marianne says:

    I was wondering if you have used fresh organic spinach straight from the garden and if so, how much please?

    I made this last night! I bought the frozen spinach with 6 blocks inside, weighing 250grams, whoops! Still turned out so good, it made 4 squares instead… I honestly can’t get over how much it felt like I was eating bread!

    Have u tried this with other greens/veg? This looks awesome and much better than the pulp crackers I’ve been doing 🙂

  5. Bee says:

    Do u blend or put this into a food processor… Or are the leaves whole?

  6. Lesley says:

    Trying this right now! What does “set” look/feel like? Dry?

    Hey,
    I am allergic to egg so would the egg replacement work, and what do you eat with it?
    Thanks

    I tried making this, but it didn’t hold when I cut it into pieces and it was kind of moist when it was done baking. When I was mixing everything together, the spinach was still somewhat wet from thawing. Does the spinach need to be completely dry?

  9. Super excited to try this! I love your website. I was recommended through a Candida Support group. Thanks for such amazing work!

    Hi Lee, am really excited to try this recipe. If I made it fairly flat, do you think it would work as the base for a paleo pizza? 🙂

    • lee says:

      It would have to be fairly flat and cooked through well. If it were me I would add almond meal to it and an extra egg.

    I must say, this recipe is a novel. I think I will try it with my green smoothy that I have every morning.

    Hi Lee,

    I tried this recipe and I agree it is delicious, however it would not hold together to toast it. Is there anything I should add in to help bind it?

    thanks

      The trick is to really squeeze as much liquid out of the frozen spinach as possible. That way it will hold together when toasted. Also i usually freeze in in slices so its easier to pop into the toaster, under the grill or in a sandwich press.

    This looks great! Do you toast it straight from the oven, or defrost it first? thank you
