SPINACH AND MATZOH PIE



Spinach and Matzoh Pie image

On a weeknight, when you don't have the time to work with paper-thin sheets of phyllo, try matzo. Although different from phyllo, it makes an easy framework for a spanakopita-like pie. This pie's dill- and nutmeg-seasoned spinach is made tangy with cottage cheese (which is smooth once blended) and gets a salty hit from feta.

This easy and delirious dairy recipe is from "Gourmet Magazine" (April 2008). It's similar to a spanakopita. It's great served warm as a main dish, or cold, in small slices, as an appetizer. Cooks' note: Pie can be assembled (but not baked) 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
