Step-by-Step Instructions for Spinach Stuffed Pie

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the finely chopped onion for about 5 minutes until translucent.
  • Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for an additional minute, then stir in 4 cups of fresh spinach until wilted.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of ricotta, 1 cup of crumbled feta, and ½ cup of grated Parmesan. Add 2 large eggs and mix until smooth.
  • Fold in the cooled spinach and onion mixture into the cheese blend, then season with ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
  • Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a pie dish, trimming any excess.
  • Fill the crust with the spinach and cheese mixture, spreading evenly.
  • Roll out a second pie crust and place it over the filling, sealing the edges and cutting slits for steam.
  • Brush the top crust with a beaten egg for a golden finish.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and filling is set.
  • Let the pie rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
