Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
1 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/8-inch rounds
-
2 medium shallots, sliced 1/4 inch thick
-
1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
-
1 (5 ounce) package baby spinach
-
6 large eggs
-
¼ cup low-fat milk
-
⅓ cup white whole-wheat flour
-
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
-
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
-
1 ½ cups shredded Gouda cheese
-
¼ cup chopped fresh tarragon
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a 9-inch cake pan with cooking spray.
-
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add zucchini and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, 4 to 6 minutes. Add shallots and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat. Stir in half the spinach; cover and let stand until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining spinach; cover and let stand until wilted, about 5 minutes more. Uncover and allow the mixture to cool for 10 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, whisk eggs and milk in a large bowl until smooth. Add whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt and pepper; whisk until no lumps remain. Stir in Gouda and tarragon. Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan and top with the vegetables, pressing them into the batter.
-
Bake until puffed and the edges are beginning to set, about 15 minutes. Turn the broiler to high and broil until the top is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for 1 hour. Serve at room temperature.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
