Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 454 grams fresh spinach
- 150 grams feta cheese, crumbled
- 4 large eggs
- 1 medium diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 60 ml heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish with olive oil.
Wash and dry the spinach, then chop it roughly. If using frozen spinach, make sure it is fully thawed and squeezed to remove excess water.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet, cooking until wilted (if fresh) and most of the moisture has evaporated. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the crumbled feta cheese, chopped dill, and parsley.
Add the cooked spinach mixture to the bowl with the egg mixture. Stir 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 30-35 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly golden. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Allow the pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
