Spinach Pie Recipes

This is what I will make for dinner on my lazy days. Just mix and put everything on a pie shell and bake. Traditional spinach pie is bake with phyllo dough but since I don't have it I just used the store bought short crust pastry.

Ingredients for the filling :

1 packet (10 oz) frozen chopped spinach (thaw and squeezed dry)
1 cup of cooked chicken - roughly chopped
3 slices of ham - cut small (Optional)
1/2 cup of chopped green onions
3 eggs
1/2 cup of half and half
1/2 cup of low fat ricotta cheese
1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp of garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
3 tomatoes - sliced

2 pieces of short crust pastry
1 egg - beaten

1) Pre-heat the oven to 350 degree F. In a large bowl combined the filling ingredients except the tomatoes and mix well. Set aside.
2) Line the bottom of a baking dish with 1 piece of the pastry. Pour in the filling and arrange the tomato slices on top of the filling.
3) Cover the top of the pie with another piece of pastry. Press the edges together and trim it. Cut several slits on top of the pastry and brush with beaten egg.
4) Bake for 50 minutes to an hour or until the pastry is golden brown .
