Description
A delightful Spinach Stuffed Pie with a golden crust and a filling of fresh spinach and creamy cheeses, perfect for gatherings or a cozy family dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups fresh spinach, washed and chopped
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute.
- Gradually add the chopped spinach to the skillet, stirring until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, crumbled feta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and eggs. Mix until well combined.
- Stir the cooled spinach and onion mixture into the cheese mixture. Add nutmeg, salt, pepper, and dill. Mix until incorporated.
- Roll out the pre-made pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Spoon the spinach and cheese filling into the pie crust.
- Roll out the second pie crust, place it over the filling, seal the edges, and cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the top with the beaten egg.
- Bake the pie for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

For extra flavor, try adding red pepper flakes or experimenting with cheese combinations.
