White House Spinach Pie Recipes

WHITE HOUSE SPINACH PIE RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place pie crust on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. In a medium skillet over medium heat, drizzle in the olive oil. Add garlic and onion and saute until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Do not let the garlic burn. Add the spinach, a little at a time and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half. Add lemon zest and thyme. Add spinach, feta cheese and half the swiss. Mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture carefully in the pie crust and sprinkle with remaining swiss cheese evenly over top. Bake for about 40 minutes or until the center is set. Cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

SARA'S SPINACH PIE

Steps:

• In a large skillet over low heat, heat olive oil. Add onions and pinch of salt, and sauté until soft and beginning to turn golden, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
• Return pan to medium heat. Working in batches and adding oil 1 tablespoon at a time as needed, sauté spinach until wilted, then transfer to a bowl. Coarsely chop cooked spinach, then squeeze hard to remove as much excess liquid as possible.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly oil a shallow 9-by-13-inch baking dish and set aside. In a large bowl, combine feta, ricotta, Parmigiano-Reggiano, eggs and a generous amount of pepper. Mix well. Add spinach and onions and mix thoroughly. Add dill, and toss to blend. Spoon into baking dish, pat down evenly and drizzle lightly with olive oil.
• Bake pie for 30 minutes. Raise heat to 350 degrees and bake until lightly firm in center and golden on top, about 20 more minutes. If top begins to brown too much, cover lightly with foil. To serve, allow pie to cool slightly before cutting into squares. It may also be served cold.
