Italian Spinach Pie Recipe (So Good)

"I don't usually leave reviews online but gosh this pie is too good not to! The recipe is easy yet absolutely delicious! My family loves it!"

Ingredients

– (vegan) ricotta – frozen spinach – onion & garlic – breadcrumbs – plant-based cream – puff pastry

1. Caramelize the onion

Heat 50 g (1¾ oz) butter in a frying pan. Add onion and garlic and sauté until caramelized (5-10 minutes).

2. Add spinach

Add spinach, salt, nutmeg and cream, mix well and set aside.

3. Sauté breadcrumbs

Heat the remaining butter in a frying pan. Add breadcrumbs and sauté until golden brown. Set aside.

4. Line the springform

Cover the bottom and sides of a springform (Ø 21 cm, 8'') with baking paper. Roll out a sheet of puff pastry and place it in the pan so that it covers the bottom and sides of the pan.

5. Make the layers

Cover the bottom with the breadcrumbs-mixture, top with the spinach and finish with a layer of ricotta.

6. Seal the pie

Top the pie with the second sheet of puff pastry, cut off the excess dough and press the edges together and roll towards the inside of the pie.

7. Bake the pie

Brush the pie with cream and top with salt flakes and fresh thyme. Bake for 35 minutes at 190 °C (370 °F).

8. Serve

Allow the pie to cool for 10 min, then cut into slices and serve right away.
