EGG-FREE SPINACH PIE (THAT ACTUALLY HOLDS)
This pie is great for anyone with egg allergies. The buckwheat can also be replaced with an equal amount of cooked brown rice, or millet. The dill in this recipe gives it an exceptional flavour.

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!

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 for the best flavor and texture.
- If you don't have fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach that has been thawed and drained.
- Use a large bowl to mix the ingredients so that you have plenty of room to work.
- Make sure the eggs and milk are at room temperature before you add them to the spinach mixture.
- Season the spinach mixture generously with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- Use a deep-dish pie plate to ensure that the pie has enough room to rise.
- Bake the pie in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
Spinach pie is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover spinach. This recipe for egg-free spinach pie is easy to follow and results in a delicious and satisfying pie.
