🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 300 grams Fresh spinach
• 1 cup Sweet corn kernels (cooked or canned, drained)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 100 grams Cream cheese
• 1 cup Grated cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
• 1 piece Pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
• 1 piece Egg (beaten)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Wash the spinach thoroughly. Blanch it in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then drain and squeeze out any excess liquid. Chop the spinach finely and set aside.

3. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to create a roux.

4. Gradually add the milk to the roux, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Cook until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce.

5. Stir in the cream cheese, grated cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Continue stirring until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.

6. Add the chopped spinach and corn into the cheese sauce. Mix well and remove from heat.

7. Roll out the pie crust and place it into a pie dish, trimming any excess. Pour the spinach and corn filling into the crust, spreading it evenly.

8. Brush the edges of the crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

9. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.

10. Allow the pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
