Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 125 grams Unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 60 ml Cold water
- 200 grams Fresh spinach, chopped
- 150 grams Feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Add the chilled, cubed butter and rub it into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Gradually add the cold water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Do not overmix. Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk one egg. Mix in the crumbled feta, chopped dill, cooked spinach, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a roughly 12-inch (30 cm) circle. Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Spoon the spinach and feta mixture into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch (5 cm) border. Fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pleating as needed to create a free-form pie.
Beat the remaining egg and brush it over the exposed edges of the dough. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
Allow the pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Fetta and Spinach Free Form Pie!
