Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3 cups chopped spinach leaves
2 cups chopped parsley
3/4 cup chopped dill
6 scallions, with white and green portions chopped
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
1 tablespoon corn or other light vegetable oil
1/2 to 2/3 cup matzoh meal, or as needed
3 to 4 extra large eggs, or as needed
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon white pepper, or to taste

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine first five ingredients in mixing bowl. Add oil and 1/2 cup matzoh meal. Stir in three eggs. Mix well with wooden spoon. Consistency should be fairly thick but slightly runny; mixture should drop in mass from tablespoon and just a little liquid should be visible. Add additional egg and/or matzoh meal, if needed, to attain that texture.
Spread thin film of oil over bottom and sides of baking dish that measures about 8 by 11 by 1 1/2 inches. Turn in egg mixture and smooth top with back of spoon.
Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes, or until pie is completely set and slightly shrunken away from sides of dish.
Serve hot or cold.
