    Ingredients Needed

    1 refrigerated or homemade pie crust You can use puff pastry or filo dough instead of a pie crust.

    1 Tablespoon olive oil

    1 small onion, minced

    10 oz package of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained

    2 whole eggs or ⅓ cup of liquid egg whites

    2 cloves of garlic, minced

    1 cup of low fat cottage cheese: you can also substitute ricotta cheese for the cottage cheese

    ½ cup of feta cheese

    1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar

    1 teaspoon of oregano

    ¼ teaspoon of black pepper

    Variations To Try

    1. Add fresh chopped mushrooms

    2. Add a ¼ cup of bacon bits.

    How to Make This Spinach Pie in a Pie Crust

    Step 1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees

    Step 2 Prepare pie crust or take your bought pie crust out of the refrigerator and follow the directions on the box for preparing. The one I have used is Immaculate brand and it says to let it get to room temperature for 25-30 minutes before unrolling into the pie dish.

    Step 3 Heat oil in a small pan and cook the chopped onion and garlic for about 10 minutes until onions are translucent.

    Step 4 In a small bowl, add the spinach (be sure to squeeze all the water out), balsamic, oregano, cottage cheese, feta cheese, eggs, and pepper.

    Step 5 Add in the sautéd onions and garlic and mix together evenly.

    Step 6 Spoon into pie crust and spread evenly.

    Step 7 Cook for 20-25 minutes until crust is golden brown. 

    Tips

    Cover the crust foil or crust shield to keep from getting too brown.

    Use a gluten free pie crust if preferred.
