Spinach and Feta Savory Pie

Prep Time: 20 mins | Cook Time: 40 mins | Servings: 6-8

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet puff pastry (or phyllo dough for a lighter option), thawed

• 10 oz fresh spinach (or frozen, thawed & squeezed dry)

• 1 small onion, finely diced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 4 large eggs

• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese

• ½ cup ricotta or cottage cheese (for creaminess)

• ¼ cup grated Parmesan (optional)

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tsp dried oregano

• ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

• Salt & black pepper, to taste

• 1 egg yolk + 1 tbsp water (for egg wash, optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a pie dish or tart pan.

2. Sauté Spinach Mixture:

   • Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté onion until soft (~3 mins).

   • Add garlic, spinach, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook until spinach wilts (or excess moisture evaporates if using frozen). Let cool slightly.

3. Prepare Filling:

   • In a bowl, whisk eggs. Stir in feta, ricotta, Parmesan, and the spinach mixture.

4. Assemble Pie:

   • Roll out puff pastry to fit your dish, leaving slight overhang. Press into the pan.

   • Pour filling into the crust. Fold edges inward for a rustic look.

   • Brush crust with egg wash (optional, for golden finish).

5. Bake:

   • Bake 35-40 mins until golden and set. Cool 10 mins before slicing.

Tips:

• Make it lighter: Use phyllo dough (layered with olive oil spray) instead of puff pastry.

• Add-ins: Sun-dried tomatoes, olives, or fresh herbs like dill or mint.

• Meat option: Add cooked crumbled sausage or bacon.

Serve warm or at room temperature with a side salad. Enjoy! 😊
