Description
A cozy comfort food delight featuring a savory filling of spinach and potatoes baked in a flaky pie crust.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 2 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the diced potatoes. Cook for about 10-12 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, sautéed spinach mixture, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, egg, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until well combined.
- Roll out the pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the spinach and potato filling into the crust, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Allow the pie to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free pie crust or make a crustless version by greasing the pie dish and pouring the filling directly into it.
- Add cooked bacon or sausage for a heartier filling, or mix in other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for added flavor.
