Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Greek

Time 1h30m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 pounds spinach, rinsed and chopped
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
2 eggs, lightly beaten
½ cup ricotta cheese
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
8 sheets phyllo dough
¼ cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly oil a 9x9 inch square baking pan.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onion, green onions and garlic, until soft and lightly browned. Stir in spinach and parsley, and continue to saute until spinach is limp, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups chopped yellow onions (2 onions)
2 tablespoons good olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
3 (10-ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, defrosted
6 extra-large eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons grated nutmeg
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons plain dry bread crumbs
1/2 pound good feta, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup pignoli (pine nuts)
1/4 pound salted butter, melted
6 sheets phyllo dough, defrosted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a medium saute pan on medium heat, saute the onions with the olive oil until translucent and slightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the salt and pepper and allow to cool slightly. Squeeze out and discard as much of the liquid from the spinach as possible. Put the spinach into a bowl and then gently mix in the onions, eggs, nutmeg, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, feta, and pignoli. Butter an ovenproof, nonstick, 8-inch saute pan and line it with 6 stacked sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each with melted butter and letting the edges hang over the pan. Pour the spinach mixture into the middle of the phyllo and neatly fold the edges up and over the top to seal in the filling. Brush the top well with melted butter. Bake for 1 hour, until the top is golden brown and the filling is set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Serve at room temperature.

SECRETLY DELICIOUS SPINACH PIE



Secretly Delicious Spinach Pie image

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!

Provided by Roses Granddaughter

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 50m

Yield 1 pie, 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 jumbo eggs (or 7 large eggs)
2 tablespoons milk
3 roasted garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
1 dash salt
3 slices cooked bacon, chopped (optional)
1 large flour tortilla
1 1/2 cups any blend shredded cheese
3 cups fresh spinach

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.

SAVE-THE-DAY SPINACH PIE



Save-The-Day Spinach Pie image

Provided by Sarah Copeland

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

30 ounces (860 grams) frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1/2 cup (1 stick/112 grams) unsalted butter
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
2 cups (480 grams) whole-milk ricotta cheese
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 cup (40 grams) crumbled feta cheese
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill (optional)
Juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed overnight in the refrigerator

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Set the spinach in a colander to drain while you prepare the remaining ingredients, then place it in the center of a large, sturdy dish towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as you can. (If you wash the towel shortly after, the color won't stain)
  • Heat a large pan over medium heat. Melt the butter, and pour off and reserve about 5 tablespoons. Add the onion to the skillet and cook until soft but not brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl with the squeezed spinach, and add the ricotta, eggs, feta, dill (if using), lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  • Brush a 9-by-13-inch (23-by-33-centimeter) baking pan with some of the reserved melted butter. Lay one sheet of phyllo in the pan so it covers the bottom halfway, leaving an overhang on 3 sides. Lay the second sheet across the other half of the pan, overlapping the first and leaving an overhang on 3 sides; gently press the phyllo into the corners of the pan and brush with butter. Continue with another two sheets of phyllo right on top, layering them slightly overlapping to cover the bottom and up the sides (so far, you've used four sheets.) Add the spinach mixture and spread into an even layer; season again if necessary. Fold the sides of the phyllo over the top, brushing with butter, then fold the remaining two sheets of phyllo in half and layer on top, brushing each with the remaining butter.
  • Bake until the phyllo is cooked through, shiny, and golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove and let cool until just warm to the touch before cutting. Cut into 9 or 12 pieces and serve warm or at room temperature. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container or up to 3 days.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pillsbury pie crust
1 tablespoon butter
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 cup jarlsberg cheese, grated
2 (10 ounce) packages spinach souffle, defrosted (I use Stouffers)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Place the pie crust into a pie plate.
  • Sauté mushrooms in Butter (I use Smart Balance and it comes out great).
  • Pour mushrooms into crust and spread evenly.
  • Top with Jarlsberg Cheese.
  • Top that with the Spinach Souffle.
  • Bake for 30 minutes.

Tips for Making the Best Spinach Pie:

  • Use fresh spinach. Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and texture than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it completely and squeeze out all the excess water.
  • Sauté the spinach. Sautéing the spinach helps to remove excess moisture and intensifies its flavor.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of cheeses, such as feta, ricotta, and Parmesan, gives the pie a rich and complex flavor.
  • Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing the filling can make the pie tough.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. The pie is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Spinach pie is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It's also a great way to use up leftover spinach. With its creamy filling, flaky crust, and vibrant green color, spinach pie is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
