Spinach Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large saute pan, add half of the spinach and saute until spinach wilts, tossing with tongs, about 2 minutes. Remove spinach and squeeze out excess liquid, then chop roughly. Repeat with remaining spinach, using 1 more tablespoon of olive oil. Pour off any liquid from the pan, and add remaining olive oil. Add scallions and saute until soft, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the spinach to the scallions, along with the parsley, salt and pepper. Cook over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes, then remove from heat to cool. (This part can be done ahead and kept refrigerated).
• Stir the feta and as much beaten egg to moisten the cooled spinach mixture.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush a baking sheet with some of the melted butter.
• Unroll the filo dough on a flat surface and keep it covered with waxed paper and a damp towel so it doesn't dry out and become brittle. Using a sharp knife, cut the filo into 3 by 11 inch strips, and recover with the towel. Use a pastry brush to brush a strip of filo with melted butter. Place a small spoonful of spinach filling 1 inch from the end of the pastry. Fold the end over the filling to form a triangle, then continue to fold up the strip in triangles, like folding up a flag. Continue with remaining strips of dough, placing filled triangles on the baking sheet and keeping them covered with a towel until all are ready to bake.
• Brush the triangles lightly with butter, then bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Serve hot. (These may be frozen before baking, layering waxed paper between layers of triangles to keep them from sticking. Bake frozen triangles an extra 10 minutes.)

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in warm water (100 degrees) and add sugar, let rest until foamy. Blend flour and salt and oil with yeast mixture. Knead for 10 minutes until soft and pliable. Place in oiled bowl and let rise until double in size.
• For the Filling: Using food processor, mince entire bulb of peeled garlic. Place in a jar and fill with the corn oil and olive oil. This part should be done at least 24 hours prior to making pie.
• In your largest mixing bowl, place part of the spinach, add garlic infused oil, 1/4 can of olives, salt and pepper to taste. With clean hands, mix all together. Continue layering in same manner until all the spinach is used. (Spinach will wilt as you continue process). Set mixture aside. Roll 1/2 pound dough into a circle approximately 8 inches across. Take portion of spinach, squeezing out excess liquid, and place in middle of the dough round. Fold dough over from one side to the other and seal edges with a floured fork. Continue making pies with remainder of the dough and filling. Brush the spinach pies with beaten egg yolk. Poke several holes in top of each pie to allow air to escape. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Place in a preheated 400 degree oven for approximately 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and place on cooling rack prior to cutting. Yield: 10 large spinach pies

• Lay the flour tortilla in a glass pie dish, press gently - does not need to lay perfectly flat against dish. I don't spray it prior and have never had any issues with it sticking. Especially when made using a glass pie pan.
• Sprinkle only 1/2 cup cheese on tortilla.
• Sprinkle remaining cheese and the spinach onto tortilla in layers, and press gently. I don't chop or tear the spinach but you might opt to do this.
• Pour egg mixture evenly over spinach, be careful not to pour any outside of tortilla as this causes it to stick to pan.
• Bake in oven at 365 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes. Insert fork in center and it should come out clean.

• Other options: Instead of garlic, you can use 1/4 cup onions. For added flavor, serve with homemade salsa.

Steps:

• Carefully unroll the filo pastry. Cover with some damp sheets of kitchen paper to stop it drying out. Take a sheet of pastry and brush liberally with some of the sundried tomato oil. Drape oil-side down in a 22cm loosebottomed cake tin so that some of the pastry hangs over the side. Brush oil on another piece of pastry and place in the tin, just a little further round. Keep placing the pastry pieces in the tin until you have roughly three layers, then spoon over the filling. Pull the sides into the middle, scrunch up and make sure the filling is covered. Brush with a little more oil.

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.
