Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat: Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and the oil is shimmering. |
| 2 | Sauté Onions: Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until soft and translucent, approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. |
| 3 | Cook Spinach: Add the thawed and drained frozen spinach to the skillet with the onions. Continue cooking for about three minutes, allowing any excess water from the spinach to evaporate. |
| 4 | Season: Sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg over the spinach mixture for a touch of warmth and depth of flavor. Stir to combine evenly. |
| 5 | Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach and onion mixture with the ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and eggs. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste. |
| 6 | Assemble Pie: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the prepared spinach and cheese mixture into an unbaked pie crust, spreading it evenly to ensure uniform baking. |
| 7 | Bake: Place the assembled pie in the preheated oven and bake for approximately one hour, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set. |
| 8 | Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the Flaky Crust Spinach Pie from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature for optimal enjoyment. |
