1 red bell pepper
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 bunch scallions, sliced
1 5 -ounce package baby spinach
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 large eggs

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place the bell pepper directly on a stovetop gas burner over high heat and char on all sides, turning with tongs, about 5 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallions and spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 4 minutes. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste; remove from the heat. Whisk the eggs, 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs, 3/4 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the egg mixture and feta to the skillet and stir to combine. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the frittata is set and the top is golden, about 15 minutes.
  • While the frittata is cooking, peel off the skin from the roasted red pepper with your fingers. Cut the pepper in half, discard the seeds and slice into strips. Toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Slide the frittata onto a serving plate and cut into wedges. Serve with the roasted pepper.

QUICK & EASY SPINACH AND FETA PHYLLO PIE



Quick & Easy Spinach and Feta Phyllo Pie image

I got this recipe in my email yesterday and made it immediately. We had it for dinner, but it would be wonderful for brunch. Although the original recipe did not call for reduced fat dairy products, using them makes this a nice and healthy dish. I used nonfat cottage cheese and full fat feta. The recipe is from Crisco. Cook time does not include standing time - the recipe suggests allowing it to stand 15 minutes before cutting, but mine was plenty firm after just five.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest ingredients: Use tender baby spinach, firm feta, and crispy phyllo sheets for the best results.
  • Chop the spinach finely: This will help ensure even distribution throughout the parcels.
  • Crumble the feta finely: This will also help distribute the flavor evenly.
  • Use a light hand when seasoning: The feta and spinach have plenty of flavor, so you don't want to overpower them.
  • Brush the phyllo sheets with melted butter before baking: This will help them crisp up and golden brown.
  • Serve the parcels warm: They're best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, when the cheese is melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

Spinach and feta phyllo parcels are a delicious and elegant appetizer or main course. Easy to make and packed with flavor, these parcels are sure to impress your guests. Serve them warm with a side of tzatziki sauce or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
