Spinach Pie

 

Hello friends.  I recently made spinach pie for dinner.  I used to make this pie all the time when I was first married.  I was looking through some of my old recipes and I came across this one.  I'm glad I made this again as it's delicious and it goes great with a salad.

SPINACH PIE

INGREDIENTS:

• 3 boxes of frozen chopped spinach - thawed
• 1 box of Pillsbury Pie Crust - room temperature 
• 3 eggs
• chopped ham or prosciutto
• sprinkle of nutmeg
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella
• sprinkle of grated cheese
• salt & pepper to taste
• 1 small onion - chopped
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper flakes  

DIRECTIONS:

Set oven to 380 degrees F.  Squeeze water out of the spinach.  Saute onion with garlic and hot pepper flakes.  Saute chopped ham or prosciutto.  Throw in the spinach and add in nutmeg.  Mix well and take off the heat.  Mix in 3 eggs, and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella.  Mix everything.  Add salt, pepper, and grated cheese.  Spray the pie plate with cooking spray.  Follow the directions on the pie crust package.  Add pie crust to the bottom of the pie plate.  Add in the spinach mixture.  Add pie crust on top.  Bake for 45 minutes. 

NOTES:

I used prosciutto for the spinach pie.  I also brushed one beaten egg on top of the pie crust.  I poked holes in the top of the pie crust with a fork.

YUMMY SPINACH PIE!
