Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Set it aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sautΓ© for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet in batches, cooking and stirring until it wilts down completely. This should take about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Chop the seaweed sheets (nori) into small pieces and mix them with the cooked spinach.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Spread the spinach and seaweed mixture evenly across the bottom of the pie crust.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the spinach and seaweed layer.
Pour the egg and cream mixture over the filling, ensuring it evenly coats the ingredients.
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your undersea-inspired creation!
