Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 cups Fresh spinach
- 6 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1.5 cups Muenster cheese (shredded)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9-inch pie dish with the unsalted butter and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring frequently, until wilted. This will take about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let the spinach cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
Gently squeeze any excess moisture out of the cooked spinach using your hands or a clean kitchen towel. Chop the spinach roughly and add it to the egg mixture.
Fold in the shredded Muenster cheese, reserving about 1/4 cup for the top of the pie.
Pour the spinach and egg mixture into the greased pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the reserved Muenster cheese on top for a golden-brown finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pie is set in the center and the top is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Low Carb Muenster Spinach Pie!
