SPINACH PIE

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups chopped yellow onions (2 onions)
2 tablespoons good olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
3 (10-ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, defrosted
6 extra-large eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons grated nutmeg
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons plain dry bread crumbs
1/2 pound good feta, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup pignoli (pine nuts)
1/4 pound salted butter, melted
6 sheets phyllo dough, defrosted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a medium saute pan on medium heat, saute the onions with the olive oil until translucent and slightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the salt and pepper and allow to cool slightly. Squeeze out and discard as much of the liquid from the spinach as possible. Put the spinach into a bowl and then gently mix in the onions, eggs, nutmeg, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, feta, and pignoli. Butter an ovenproof, nonstick, 8-inch saute pan and line it with 6 stacked sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each with melted butter and letting the edges hang over the pan. Pour the spinach mixture into the middle of the phyllo and neatly fold the edges up and over the top to seal in the filling. Brush the top well with melted butter. Bake for 1 hour, until the top is golden brown and the filling is set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Serve at room temperature.

SECRETLY DELICIOUS SPINACH PIE

The tortilla adds a delicious crunchy shell and it smells so good while it is cooking. I actually made up this recipe from items in my kitchen and couldn't believe how wonderful it tasted! It is now a hit in my family and so EASY to make. Please rate and give feedback. Update: Since I first made this five years ago, we still enjoy this at least once a month. I have found that I can alternate the ingredients to use up items I have in the fridge. I have used mushrooms, sauteed onions, cherry tomatoes and even feta cheese instead of cheddar cheese. And it always comes out fantastic. I have also found that there are times I need to use more or less eggs depending on the ingredients. Also, a glass pie pan is so much better than a metal as it toasts the tortilla just right. Such an easy recipe with gourmet taste!

Time 50m

Yield 1 pie, 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 jumbo eggs (or 7 large eggs)
2 tablespoons milk
3 roasted garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
1 dash salt
3 slices cooked bacon, chopped (optional)
1 large flour tortilla
1 1/2 cups any blend shredded cheese
3 cups fresh spinach

Steps:

  • Mix the first six ingredients (eggs, bacon, milk, garlic, lemon pepper and salt) in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Lay the flour tortilla in a glass pie dish, press gently - does not need to lay perfectly flat against dish. I don't spray it prior and have never had any issues with it sticking. Especially when made using a glass pie pan.
  • Sprinkle only 1/2 cup cheese on tortilla.
  • Sprinkle remaining cheese and the spinach onto tortilla in layers, and press gently. I don't chop or tear the spinach but you might opt to do this.
  • Pour egg mixture evenly over spinach, be careful not to pour any outside of tortilla as this causes it to stick to pan.
  • Bake in oven at 365 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes. Insert fork in center and it should come out clean.
  • Use sharp knife to cut into pie slices and serve hot.
  • Other options: Instead of garlic, you can use 1/4 cup onions. For added flavor, serve with homemade salsa.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and is less likely to be bitter than frozen spinach.
  • Squeeze out excess moisture: Before adding the spinach to the filling, be sure to squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This will help to prevent the pie from becoming watery.
  • Use a good quality feta cheese: Feta cheese is a key ingredient in spinach pie, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for a feta cheese that is creamy and flavorful.
  • Don't overcook the pie: Spinach pie is best when it is slightly undercooked. Overcooking can make the filling dry and crumbly.
  • Let the pie cool before serving: Allow the pie to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the filling to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Spinach pie is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It's a great way to use up leftover spinach and it's also a healthy and satisfying meal. With a few simple tips, you can make a spinach pie that is sure to impress your family and friends.
