#442 : Quick Spinach pie : recipe #241


I had frozen spinach in my fridge and some sheets of puff pastry, so I made this:)

Ingredients:
puff pastry :  enough to cover  the inside of an 8x8  baking  pan and some to cover the top of the pie.


filling:
Spinach; about 1 bowl , sauteed with a dsp butter.
3 eggs - beaten
1 cup milk
1 tbsp cream
1/2 tsp dried Italian herb
salt and pepper to taste.
2 pieces sliced cheese - shred into small pieces

steps:
1) preparing the crust:  butter the pan you are going to use.
roll out the thawed puff pastry into a nice large circle.  place it into the pie pan.  
roll out another smaller piece- this will be placed after putting in the filling.

2) Place all the filling ingredients into a large bowl , mix well and  adjust the seasoning. 
    pour into the pan prepared earlier, "sprinkle" with shredded cheese  and cover with the smaller puff pastry circle.
make slits on the puff pastry circle to allow vapour to escape during baking

3) bake in preheated oven at 180 degrees for approx 30 minutes or until the pie is done.
cool the pie before cutting.
