Spinach Pie

This recipe is so simple that I don't have to give step by step instructions!!!  It seriously takes about 10 minutes to prep and 25 minutes to bake!!  I save time with this one using a store bought crust.  Of course you can make your own, but it's not really necessary.

                               

                                                      
                                                                     Ingredients:

                           1 box of frozen spinach (thawed) or a bag of fresh with stems removed
                                                             1 c. of  WARM Milk
                                                                    1 c. of Flour
                                        16 ounces of  Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
                                                                 1 tsp. Baking Powder
                                                                         4 Eggs
                                                               3 tbsp. Minced Garlic
                                                              1/2 c. Fried Dry Onions
                                                                 1 roll of Pie Dough

Preheat the oven to 350.  Place the pie crust in a 9 inch pan and bake for 10 minutes. Rib the edges around the top.  While the crust is cooking start the filling.

 Mix the dry ingredients of flour and  baking powder. Add the milk, eggs, and cheese. Finally, fold in the spinach.  If you are using frozen spinach, make sure it is well drained.  Pour into the pie pan and cook for 35 minutes.

Take out the pie and place the fried dry onions evenly over the top.  You can also sprinkle a little more cheese over the onions.  Put back in the oven for an additional 2 minutes.  Let stand for about 15 minutes before serving.

My youngest daughter, Kayla, is my other tough critic.  When she tried this, she said , 'you have to put this on the blog!'   That's quite a compliment!! Usually, she'll say I should add this or that, but today I got it right!! They say daughters are their mothers toughest critics and that's proven true with my girls!!  Constructive criticism is what makes one better and I thank them for that!! 

I know this will be a hit for most of you, especially if you are a spinach lover or have one in your family. This is also a wonderful dish to reheat. It's actually even better reheated in my opinion.  It can be eaten for any meal, too.

I've decided that the next time I'm asked to bring something to a gathering, I'll be taking this one along!!
