Chef John's Spinach and Feta Pie image

This is great for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, either hot, warm, or cold! This reminds me of spanakopita, a Greek spinach pastry.

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon butter
1 pound fresh spinach
12 eggs
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper
6 slices bacon, chopped
½ onion, diced
1 pinch salt
3 ounces crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat butter in a large oven-safe skillet over high heat. Toss spinach in hot butter until wilted, about 30 seconds. Drain spinach well and squeeze it as dry as possible. Transfer to a cutting board and chop.
  • Beat eggs in a bowl with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until thoroughly combined.
  • Place bacon in the same skillet used to cook spinach and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until bacon has rendered its fat and is almost crisp, 5 to 8 minutes. Use a paper towel held in a tongs to remove excess bacon grease. Reduce heat to medium; saute onion with bacon and a pinch of salt until onion is translucent, about 5 more minutes.
  • Saute chopped spinach with bacon and onion until spinach is hot; pour in eggs. Use a wooden spoon to distribute spinach evenly throughout the eggs. Sprinkle feta cheese over mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until eggs are set, 10 to 15 minutes. Top may still be a little wet.
  • Turn on oven's broiler. Broil pie until top is lightly golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
