Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 ounces fresh spinach
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1.5 cups milk
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon dried dill or fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or a similar baking dish with olive oil.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently.
Place the fresh spinach in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes until wilted, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
Add the flour, baking powder, dill, salt, and black pepper to the egg mixture. Whisk well to form a smooth batter.
Stir the cooked spinach mixture, crumbled feta cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese into the batter until evenly combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pie is set in the center.
Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy this Impossible Greek Spinach Pie warm or at room temperature, paired with a crisp salad or your favorite side dish.
