Spinach Pie Recipe

[bmccasland]

I've done a spinach & feta cheese quiche that's pretty good. What did you have in mind?

1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs + 1 egg white
salt & pepper to taste
1 box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and the mositure squeezed out.
feta cheese

1 pie crust partially cooked (about 8 min with pie weights, then 10 more minutes without. And dried beans over a piece of foil makes good pie weights.)

Beat eggs, stir in sour cream, and milk. Crumble feta cheese and spinach in partially cooked pie crust. Pour over egg mixture. Bake at 350F for an hour or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. You may need to cover the pie crust edges with strips of foil to keep them from browning too much.

Cool ~15 min before cutting. Torture, I know.

Yummy! I will have to try this myself.

Do you mean spanokopita? (with phyllo dough?)

You can put the spanakopita filling in any type of pastry shell or crust. Phyllo is for special occasions and company, AFAIC.

I don't use sour cream, milk or extra egg white; I always use fresh oregano and parsley. Feta cheese is so salty I don't find a need to add salt. Otherwise pretty much the same thing.
