So the story goes when my mom was younger, she did a favor for a neighbor and as a thank you, they made her this Spinach Pie with the recipe as a thank you. I've been making and eating this dish since I was kid so it always brings up good memories.
This is every one's favorite - its hearty, filling, cheesy, with a golden flaky crust. Its more than just a simple quiche - its more shiny and special than that. Its amazing as a winter dish to warm you up inside and tastes just as good as left overs. We always serve it with a Hollandaise sauce, whether its from scratch or just from a sauce packet.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian Sausage
- 6 Eggs (Reserve the yolk from one of the eggs)
- 2 10 ounces Chopped Spinach - you can use frozen as well, make sure it is thoroughly thawed and drained
- 16 ounces of Mozzarella Cheese Grated
- 8 ounces of Ricotta Cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt, 1/8 teaspoon Pepper, 1 teaspoon Garlic Power
- **Pastry for bottom and top of pie--I get Pillsbury Pie Crust
- Cook Sausage, allow to cool and cut into bite size pieces
- Combine the Sausage and all the other ingredients in a bowl and mix
- Place a pie crust at the bottom of a 10 inch pie plate
- Place all mixed ingredients in the pie plate and put on top pie crust
- Mix a teaspoon of water with the reserved egg yolk and spread on the top crust (this gives it that beautiful golden brown color
- Make several slits on top with a knife.
Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes at 375 degree oven
