Ham and Spinach Pie image

With the exception of the phyllo dough, which I always have on hand, this ham and spinach pie recipe is made entirely from Easter dinner leftovers. One of my neighbors traded me four freshly caught trout for a slice! -Teena Petrus, Johnstown, Pennsylvania

Lucinda's Spinach and Ham Pie image

Every Easter, Martha Stewart Living TV food editor Lucinda Scala Quinn prepares a savory Italian pie filled with spinach and ham. To ensure a thin, flaky crust, Linda notes that it is essential to wring out the cooked spinach in cheesecloth before adding it to the rest of the filling.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
3 ten-ounce bags spinach, stemmed and well washed, but not dried
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 large eggs
1 pound fresh ricotta cheese
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
8 ounces boiled ham, cut into 1/4-inch cubes (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the pastry: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the butter and cream cheese. Process until combined. Add cream, and pulse to combine. Add the flour and salt, and pulse just until a ball forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead a few times. Divide dough in half, pat each half into a disc, and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make the filling: Place the spinach in a very large pot over medium-high heat. Cover, and cook, stirring once or twice, until spinach wilts, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from pot, and set aside to cool. Squeeze dry, wringing out the cooked spinach in cheesecloth (there should be 2 cups), and coarsely chop.
  • Meanwhile, heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add oil and onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent but not brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat to cool briefly.
  • In a large bowl, lightly beat 2 eggs. Add ricotta, Parmesan, salt, and pepper; mix to combine. Stir in the spinach and onions. Add ham; stir to combine.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough to a 13-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch glass pie plate, allowing the excess dough to hang over the edge of the plate. Trim edges to 1/2 inch. Spread spinach mixture evenly into pie plate. On a lightly floured surface, roll out second disc of dough to a 13-inch circle. Transfer to top of the pie. Trim top crust to overlap the bottom by 1/4 inch. Fold top crust over bottom, and crimp edges together with your fingers. Cut a few small vents. Beat the remaining egg with a few drops of water, and brush over surface of pie. Bake until crust is golden brown, about 1 hour. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick), at room temperature
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
3 teaspoons coarse salt
3 (10-ounce) packages fresh spinach, stemmed and washed well, with water still clinging to the leaves
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 pound fresh ricotta cheese
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3 large eggs, lightly beaten (1 reserved for egg wash)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces best-quality ham, cut in 1/4-inch cubes (optional)

Steps:

  • To make the pastry, combine the butter and cream cheese in a food processor or standing mixer. Process until combined. Add the cream and process until combined. Add the flour and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt and process until just combined and a ball forms. Turn it out onto a floured surface, divide into 2 pieces, and form into discs. Cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place the spinach in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until all the leaves are wilted, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the pot and set in a colander to drain until cooled. Squeeze it dry and chop; you should have 2 cups.
  • Meanwhile, place the olive oil and onion in a medium-size skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent, about 4 minutes. Cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, 2 of the eggs, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the remaining salt, and the pepper. Stir in the spinach, onion, and ham, if desired.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 piece of dough to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Trim the dough edge to hang 1/4 inch over the sides. Spread the spinach mixture evenly over dough. Roll out the second piece of dough and drape over the spinach. Trim the dough to hang over the bottom crust by 1/2 inch. Fold the top crust over and inside the bottom.
  • Using your fingers, crimp the dough to seal. Cut a few vents in the top. Beat the remaining egg with a little water and brush lightly over the pie. Bake the pie for 1 hour or until it is golden brown. Let rest for 15 minutes before cutting and serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and better texture than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it and squeeze out any excess water before using it.
  • Sauté the spinach before adding it to the pie: Sautéing the spinach helps to remove excess moisture and concentrate its flavor.
  • Use a good quality ham: The ham is one of the main ingredients in this pie, so it's important to use a good quality ham that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust: If you overfill the pie crust, the filling will bubble over and make a mess. It's better to have a little bit of extra filling left over than to have a pie that's overstuffed.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly: This usually takes about 30-35 minutes. You can also check the pie by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the pie is done.

Conclusion:

Spinach and ham pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover ham, and it's also a good source of protein and vegetables. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give spinach and ham pie a try!
