Spinach Pie with Pancetta image

This is my version of the classic Greek spinach pie called spanakopita. The flavors tend to be a little bolder than you'll find in the traditional version.

Time 1h48m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
½ large red onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup cubed pancetta
1 (10 ounce) box frozen chopped spinach - thawed, drained and squeezed dry
3 tablespoons feta cheese
4 (1 ounce) slices Provolone cheese
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 egg white

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8 inch pie plate.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the red onions; cook and stir until tender and transparent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and pancetta, cook until the pancetta is crispy, about 8 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Mix in the spinach and feta cheese. Remove skillet from the heat.
  • Arrange the Provolone cheese to completely cover the bottom of the prepared pie plate. Spoon the spinach mixture over the cheese. Cover with the puff pastry sheet, trimming the edges to fit the pie plate. Brush top of pastry with the egg white.
  • Bake pie in preheated oven until the crust is golden brown, about 15 minutes. Cool 1 hour before serving.

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

The crust was a little soggy. I think I would blind bake it next time.

This pie was a little too salty for my taste. I think I would use less pancetta next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pie turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a little more spinach.

I love that this recipe uses pancetta instead of bacon. It gives the pie a more sophisticated flavor.

This spinach pie was a hit with my family! The pancetta added a delicious salty flavor that complemented the spinach and cheese perfectly. I also loved the flaky, buttery crust.
