Time 45m

Yield 2 dozen mini pies or one large pie

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large white onion, finely chopped
2 10-ounce boxes frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
3 eggs
1 cup cottage cheese
4 ounces Muenster cheese, coarsely grated
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 dozen mini pastry shells, 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter, or 1 9-inch pie crust (see Note)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until transparent. Add spinach and cook, stirring, just until bright green; do not overcook. Transfer to a colander and let cool to room temperature.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Transfer spinach to a large bowl and add eggs, cottage cheese, muenster cheese, salt and pepper; toss together lightly but thoroughly. Spoon into small pastry shells or into a crust-lined 9-inch pie pan. Fill shells or pie pan almost to top; do not pack filling. Arrange on baking sheets and bake 18 to 20 minutes, until puffed and golden brown on top; large pie will take longer. (Filled pies can be frozen and baked, directly from freezer.)

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pies turned out really dry. I'll have to try again.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll try a simpler recipe next time.

These pies were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll use less butter next time.

The crust was a bit too thick for my taste. I'll try rolling it out thinner next time.

These pies were a bit bland. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

These pies were a great way to use up leftover spinach. They were easy to make and very tasty.

I'm not a big fan of spinach, but I loved these pies. The cheese filling was so good that it made me forget all about the spinach.
