Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 300 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 200 grams Fresh spinach leaves
- 3 stalks Spring onions, finely chopped
- 3 large Eggs
- 200 milliliters Heavy cream
- 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming and crimping the edges as desired. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped spring onions and sauté for 2 minutes until softened.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and set them aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using).
Spread the cooked spinach and spring onions evenly over the base of the chilled pie crust.
Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes on top of the spinach, cut side up.
Pour the egg and cream mixture evenly over the vegetables in the pie crust.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
Allow the pie to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
