Time 1h35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups chopped yellow onions (2 onions)
2 tablespoons good olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
3 (10-ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, defrosted
6 extra-large eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons grated nutmeg
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons plain dry bread crumbs
1/2 pound good feta, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup pignoli (pine nuts)
1/4 pound salted butter, melted
6 sheets phyllo dough, defrosted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a medium saute pan on medium heat, saute the onions with the olive oil until translucent and slightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the salt and pepper and allow to cool slightly. Squeeze out and discard as much of the liquid from the spinach as possible. Put the spinach into a bowl and then gently mix in the onions, eggs, nutmeg, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, feta, and pignoli. Butter an ovenproof, nonstick, 8-inch saute pan and line it with 6 stacked sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each with melted butter and letting the edges hang over the pan. Pour the spinach mixture into the middle of the phyllo and neatly fold the edges up and over the top to seal in the filling. Brush the top well with melted butter. Bake for 1 hour, until the top is golden brown and the filling is set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Serve at room temperature.

Spinach pies are a popular dish that can be enjoyed any time of year. Whether served warm with a side salad or cold as a snack, spinach pies are a delicious, healthy and versatile option that can be enjoyed by all ages. Apart from being nutritious and flavorful, a beautiful and sunny spinach pie can elevate any dinner table and impress guests with its vibrant colors and delicious aroma.

Benefits of Spinach pies

Spinach pies have many benefits that make them an excellent addition to any diet. Spinach is an excellent source of iron, important for healthy blood circulation, as well as being rich in vitamin K and other essential vitamins and minerals. The spinach leaves also contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that have been shown to improve overall heart health and reduce inflammation in the body. Additionally, spinach pies are a great way to incorporate vegetables into one’s diet in a tasty and enjoyable way, making them an ideal meal option for adults and children alike.

Making a Beautiful and Sunny Spinach Pie

The key to creating a beautiful and sunny spinach pie is to ensure that both the filling and pastry are prepared perfectly. There are numerous variations to making the perfect spinach pie, depending on individual preferences, dietary restrictions, and cultural influences. However, some important ingredients to consider including when preparing a spinach pie are:
Ingredients
  • Fresh spinach leaves
  • Feta cheese or any cheese (optional)
  • Onions
  • Garlic
  • Olive oil
  • Eggs
  • Salt and pepper
  • Phyllo pastry
Preparing the Filling
The filling determines the flavor and consistency of the spinach pie, so it is essential to get the recipe right. Start by washing and drying fresh spinach leaves before chopping them into small pieces. In a pan, sauté an onion and garlic in olive oil until translucent, then add the chopped spinach until the leaves start to wilt. If using cheese, add a few ounces of crumbled feta cheese into the mix before mixing in 2-3 beaten eggs to act as a binder and help hold the filling together. Season with salt and pepper to taste, let it cool to room temperature before proceeding.
Preparing the Pastry
The pastry is just as important as the filling to create a beautiful and sunny spinach pie. Start by defrosting phyllo pastry sheets and separating them into individual sheets, taking care not to tear them. Place one sheet on a work surface and brush it with olive oil or melted butter. Then, place another sheet on top and repeat the process until you have about 6 sheets of pastry, slightly overlapping. Now it’s time to transfer the filling onto the pastry sheets, using about two-thirds of the mixture, and evenly spread it out on top of the layered phyllo pastry.
Twisting and Baking the Pie
Finally, it’s time to twist the pastry into a beautiful and sunny spinach pie. Starting from the bottom, carefully roll up the pastry sheets into a tight spiral, tucking in the ends as you go. Brush the top of the spinach pie with egg wash or melted butter to give it a golden and glossy shine. Preheat your oven to 180°C, and place the spinach pie on a baking sheet before baking it for approximately 30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown in color and the filling is cooked through. Once done, let the spinach pie rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion

Incorporating a beautiful and sunny spinach pie recipe into your diet can be a great way to enjoy the healthy benefits of spinach while also enjoying a delicious and satisfying meal. With a little bit of preparation and planning, you can create a beautiful and impressive dish that is sure to impress both yourself and your dinner guests. So, what are you waiting for? It’s time to go into the kitchen and whip up a beautiful and sunny spinach pie for your next meal!
Spinach pie is a classic dish that many people enjoy. It's a favorite for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. A beautiful and sunny spinach pie is a dish that can brighten any day. It's a dish that brings together the flavors of spinach, feta cheese, and phyllo pastry. Although making a spinach pie may seem daunting at first, it's a dish that is easy to put together. In this article, we’ll provide you with valuable tips on how to make a beautiful and sunny spinach pie.

Selecting the Right Ingredients

The key to making a good spinach pie is in the quality of the ingredients. Make sure you choose fresh spinach and feta cheese – it will make a big difference in the taste of your pie. When buying spinach, go for the young leaves, which are more tender and have a milder taste. For the feta cheese, make sure you get a high-quality brand. The cheese should be crumbly, and not too dry or too moist. Try to avoid pre-crumbled feta because it's often not as flavorful.

Prepping the Spinach

It’s important to clean your spinach properly. Spinach is notorious for retaining dirt and grit between its leaves. To clean the spinach, cut off the stems and rinse it under cold running water several times until the water runs clear. Once your spinach is clean, dry it thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Squeeze the spinach tightly to remove any excess water. The less water you have in the spinach, the less water you will have in your pie.

Phyllo Pastry

Phyllo pastry is a thin, flaky pastry that is commonly used in Mediterranean cuisine. It’s commonly used in spinach pies because it creates a crisp, flaky crust. Handle the phyllo pastry gently because it’s very delicate and can easily break. To prevent it from drying out, it’s best to work with one sheet at a time and keep the remaining sheets covered with a damp towel.

Layering the Pie

When layering your pie, use a baking dish that is the same size as your phyllo pastry sheets. Start by brushing the bottom of your dish with melted butter or olive oil. Then, place your first sheet of phyllo pastry in the dish and brush it with butter or oil. Repeat this process until you have 5 to 7 layers of phyllo sheets.

Spinach Mixture

The spinach mixture is the star of the show. It’s important to get the right balance of flavors. To make the spinach mixture, sauté chopped onions and garlic in olive oil until they’re soft and fragrant. Add the spinach and cook it until it's wilted. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, and let it cool before adding the eggs and feta cheese. The eggs will help bind the mixture together, and the feta cheese will add a rich, salty flavor.

Assembly

Once your spinach mixture is ready, pour it over the phyllo pastry layers, and spread it evenly. Then, top it with another 5 to 7 layers of phyllo pastry, brushing each layer with butter or oil. Make sure the top layer is well buttered or oiled to ensure it turns golden brown and crispy.

Baking

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the spinach pie for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy. Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before slicing it.

Conclusion

Making a beautiful and sunny spinach pie is a simple process that can yield delicious results. The key to making a great pie is choosing quality ingredients, prepping the spinach correctly, and layering the phyllo pastry sheets properly. By following the tips outlined in this article, you’ll be able to make a delicious spinach pie that will impress your friends and family.
