Categories Cheese Egg Vegetable

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1lb 4oz spinach, washed
1 onion, chopped
3 eggs, beaten
16oz ricotta cheese
10oz Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 9-in gluten-free pie shells

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350Â°F 2. Steam the spinach, squeeze to drain well and roughly chop. 3. In a large bowl, mix the onion, beaten eggs, both types of cheese, pepper & nutmeg, and mix the cooked spinach. 4. Transfer mixture to one pie dish. Roll remaining mixture in sections of other pie shell. 5. Bake in preheated oven for 25â30 minutes.

Tips:

Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a vibrant green color and a slightly bitter taste that complements the other ingredients in the pie.
Wilt the spinach properly: Wilting the spinach removes excess moisture and helps to concentrate its flavor. To wilt the spinach, heat a large pot or skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook, stirring constantly, until it is wilted and reduced in volume, about 2-3 minutes.
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 made from sheep's milk or a blend of sheep's and goat's milk. The cheese should be firm and crumbly, with a slightly tangy and salty flavor.
Don't overfill the pie crust: Overfilling the pie crust can make the pie difficult to assemble and can also cause the crust to crack. Fill the pie crust no more than 3/4 full.
Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown: The pie is done baking when the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. The filling should be firm to the touch and should not be jiggly.
