Crustless Spinach Pie

Just had to share this recipe. It is easy and delicious. Try different green, cheese, and spice combos to add variety! Great for some of the cold-weather crops we talked about last time!!

Crustless Spinach Pie

Preheat oven to 350F

1/4 C butter (Amish, yum)
3 eggs (fresh brown eggs)
1 C flour
1 C milk
1 t garlic powder (or chopped fresh garlic)
1 t baking powder
12 oz shredded cheese (try some Adam's Reserve Sharp)
4 C chopped fresh spinach

Melt butter in 9x13 pan.
Beat eggs well, add flour, milk, garlic (powder or fresh chopped), baking powder. Add to the 9x13 pan. Stir in cheese and spinach. Bake for 35 minutes. Serves 6.

Some possible add-ons include: pan-fried pancetta, sauteed onions, asparagus, mustard greens, just to name a few. Spice options include ginger (you've never lived if you haven't tried fresh chopped ginger in scrambled eggs - I imagine it would be equally delicious in this recipe), fresh dill, basil, perhaps with some lightly pan fried grape tomatoes (just enough to evaporate some of the liquid).

The possibilities are endless. Try it out and share your favorites!

  1. It does sound scrumptious! Like a spinach quiche. So, when are you serving it again? lol! Fresh eggs, brown, white, or soft green, all make a recipe taste even better. :-)
