Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray an 11×7-inch baking dish with olive oil.
In a pot, bring water to a boil and add 1 tsp salt. Add the broccoli florets and return to a boil for 1 minute. Remove the broccoli and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain and dry. Give them a rough chop after drying.
Drain the pot, wipe it clean, and heat 1 tsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the diced scallions for 1 minute, then set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and 1 tsp salt. Add the milk, eggs, and ¼ cup olive oil, mixing until the batter thickens. If the batter is too runny, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Fold in the chopped broccoli, sautéed scallions, chopped dill, crumbled feta, and shredded mozzarella into the batter.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the top with grated pecorino cheese and lightly spray with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
Let the brownies cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
