Greek-Style Spinach Pie

Is there anything more comforting than a warm, savoury pie packed with gooey cheese, fresh herbs, and a crispy crust? We don’t think so. And if you love Greek cuisine (who doesn’t?), this Greek-Style Spinach Pie is going to knock your socks off.

(Not sure why, but the crust got a little wonky in the oven.  It was so delicious that it didn’t matter)

It’s rich, creamy, and packed with flavour—from the tang of feta to the aromatic kick of dill, garlic, and onions. All of this goodness is tucked into a simple store-bought pie crust (because let’s be honest, no one has time to make homemade crust every day), with a couple of tomato slices on top for a pop of colour and a touch of freshness.

Ready?  LET’S GO!!!!

Ingredients

• 1 (9-inch) store-bought pie crust (or 2 if you want a double-crust pie!)
• 1 (10 oz) package frozen chopped spinach (make sure to thaw and squeeze out excess water)
• 1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
• 1/2 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
• 2 large eggs (these help hold everything together)
• 1/2 small onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (freshly cracked is best!)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing)
• 2-3 slices of tomato (for topping)

Instructions

1. Prep the Spinach: Start by thawing your frozen spinach in the microwave or on the stovetop. Once it’s fully thawed, squeeze out any excess water using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This step is key to avoiding a soggy pie!
2. Sauté the Aromatics: In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it’s softened and translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds or until fragrant. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, crumbled feta, and eggs. Use a whisk or spatula to mix it until smooth and creamy. Stir in the spinach, sautéed onion and garlic, and dill. Season with salt and pepper to taste. The cream cheese and feta will make the filling rich and tangy, while the spinach and dill add the perfect freshness.
4. Assemble the Pie: Roll out your store-bought pie crust into a pie dish. If you’re using a pre-made crust, simply unroll it and fit it into the dish. No need to fuss with anything fancy—this is about quick, delicious comfort! Pour the spinach and cheese mixture into the crust and spread it out evenly.
5. Top with Tomatoes: Place the tomato slices on top of the spinach filling, arranging them in a circular pattern (or however your heart desires). The tomatoes will not only look pretty but also add a lovely burst of fresh flavour to each bite.
6. Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie on the middle rack and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. You should see the top bubbling slightly, and the tomatoes should be lightly roasted.
7. Let it Cool (If You Can Wait!): Once it’s out of the oven, let the pie cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. This gives the filling a chance to set so that each slice holds together beautifully.
8. Serve & Enjoy: Cut into your beautiful Greek-style spinach pie and enjoy! It’s perfect as a light dinner with a side of salad, or as a show-stopping brunch dish. Pair it with a glass of chilled white wine or a refreshing iced tea for the ultimate experience.
