Step-by-Step Method
Preheat and prep the pan
Heat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease a square baking dish; lining with parchment helps with clean slicing.
Whisk the wet base
In a bowl, whisk the melted butter, milk, and eggs. Stir in the baking soda until combined.
Add the spinach
Squeeze the thawed spinach very dry so the bars don’t turn watery. Mix it into the bowl until evenly distributed.
Mix in flour and cheese
Add the flour gradually and stir just until smooth. Fold in the shredded cheese with a spatula.
Pour and level
Pour the batter into the pan and spread it out into an even layer.
Bake
Bake for about 35 minutes, until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Rest and slice
Let it cool for 5–10 minutes, then cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
