SPINACH PIE

Provided by Ina Garten

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.

Provided by Elaine Louie

Categories     dinner, lunch, appetizer, main course, side dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons olive oil, more as needed
2 large yellow onions, finely chopped
Sea salt
2 pounds fresh spinach, washed and thoroughly dried
Vegetable oil or nonstick spray, for oiling pan
1 pound feta cheese, rinsed in cool water, then crumbled
12 ounces ricotta cheese, drained
5 ounces (about 2 cups) finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
5 large eggs, lightly beaten
Freshly ground black pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill, or to taste

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over low heat, heat olive oil. Add onions and pinch of salt, and sauté until soft and beginning to turn golden, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  • Return pan to medium heat. Working in batches and adding oil 1 tablespoon at a time as needed, sauté spinach until wilted, then transfer to a bowl. Coarsely chop cooked spinach, then squeeze hard to remove as much excess liquid as possible.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly oil a shallow 9-by-13-inch baking dish and set aside. In a large bowl, combine feta, ricotta, Parmigiano-Reggiano, eggs and a generous amount of pepper. Mix well. Add spinach and onions and mix thoroughly. Add dill, and toss to blend. Spoon into baking dish, pat down evenly and drizzle lightly with olive oil.
  • Bake pie for 30 minutes. Raise heat to 350 degrees and bake until lightly firm in center and golden on top, about 20 more minutes. If top begins to brown too much, cover lightly with foil. To serve, allow pie to cool slightly before cutting into squares. It may also be served cold.

Tips:

  • Prep the Spinach: Before using, wash the spinach thoroughly to remove any grit or dirt. Wilt the spinach by heating it briefly in a pan with a little olive oil or butter. This helps to reduce its volume and release excess moisture.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients directly impacts the taste of your pie. Opt for fresh spinach, feta cheese, and eggs for the best flavor.
  • Season Wisely: Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings and herbs. A pinch of nutmeg, garlic powder, or red pepper flakes can add depth and complexity to the filling.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When adding the spinach mixture to the pie crust, don't pack it in too tightly. Leave some space for the filling to expand during baking.
  • Chill Before Slicing: After baking, allow the pie to cool completely before slicing. This helps the filling to set and prevents it from becoming runny.

Conclusion:

Spinach pie is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Its combination of savory filling and flaky crust makes it a crowd-pleaser. With its vibrant green color and packed with nutrients, this pie is a healthy and satisfying meal option. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a beginner in the kitchen, give this super spinach pie recipe a try. It's an easy-to-follow recipe that yields a mouthwatering result every time.
