It’s super adaptable – feel free to swap out ingredients based on what you have on hand.
What you’ll need (serves 4):
- 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry (Seriously, squeeze out all that excess water!)
- 8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (The saltier, the better, in my opinion!)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (whole milk works best, but you can use whatever you have)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill (or 1 tablespoon dried dill)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pre-made pie crust (or make your own if you’re feeling ambitious!)
Let’s get baking!
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This is crucial – don’t skip this step!
- Sauté the garlic: Heat the olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Don’t let it burn!
- Combine the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the squeezed spinach, crumbled feta, Parmesan cheese, eggs, milk, dill, sautéed garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until it’s well combined.
- Pour into the pie crust: Gently pour the spinach and feta mixture into your pie crust. Make sure it’s evenly distributed.
- Bake: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. You’ll know it’s done when the center is no longer jiggly.
- Cool and serve: Let the pie cool for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set properly and prevents a messy situation.
Serving Suggestions:
This pie is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it with a side salad or some crusty bread for dipping. A dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt wouldn’t hurt either!
Variations:
- Add some sun-dried tomatoes for a burst of flavor.
- Swap the feta for goat cheese for a tangier taste.
- Throw in some mushrooms or onions for extra veggies.
- Use a different type of herb, like oregano or thyme.
This spinach and feta pie is a versatile and delicious recipe that’s perfect for any occasion. So go ahead, give it a try, and let me know what you think! Happy baking!
