Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
- 5 cups Fresh spinach
- 3 Eggs
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly dust a clean surface with all-purpose flour and roll out the pre-made pie crust to ensure it fits a 9-inch pie dish. Gently press it into the dish and crimp the edges. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the Italian sausage to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary and set aside to cool slightly.
In the same skillet, add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, stirring occasionally, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Layer the cooked Italian sausage evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
Top the sausage with the wilted spinach, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the sausage and spinach layers.
Pour the egg and cream mixture over the cheese, ensuring it evenly covers the filling.
Place the pie dish on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the pie is set and the top is golden brown.
Allow the pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
