Spinach Tomato Pie Recipes

SPINACH AND FETA PIE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the garlic, onions and chard stems until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the rice and 1/2 teaspoon salt to combine. Add 1 cup water, cover, reduce the heat to low and cook without stirring until the rice is tender but not mushy, about 12 minutes. Uncover, add the spinach, chard leaves and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until the greens are wilted, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl to cool (stirring with a large spoon will speed this up).
• 2. When the filling is cool, stir in the egg and then the feta, dill, raisins, pine nuts and lemon zest.
• 3. Place a large piece of parchment paper on a work surface. Lay out one sheet of phyllo and brush all over with some of the melted butter. Lay another sheet crosswise on top and brush with butter again. Working to form a large round of phyllo layers, lay an additional 6 sheets of phyllo dough diagonally over the first 2 sheets, brushing each sheet with butter, so they overlap in the center. Spread the filling in the center of the sheets and bring all the loose ends of the phyllo to rest on top to make a free-form pie, using the butter to help the pieces stick to each other. Lay 4 of the remaining 6 sheets of phyllo evenly over the top of the pie, tucking the edges under the bottom to form an enclosed disk and brushing each piece of dough with butter. Use the last 2 sheets, if necessary, to cover the filling or enclose the circle. Brush the outside of the pie with butter.
• 4. Lift the parchment with the pie onto a rimmed baking sheet and bake until the phyllo is golden brown and crispy, about 40 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature with the Tomato Salad on the side.
• Toss the tomatoes with the pepperoncini and the olives in a medium bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

SPINACH PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a medium saute pan on medium heat, saute the onions with the olive oil until translucent and slightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. 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.

SPINACH PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 9 inch pie pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft. Squeeze extra water out of the spinach and add the spinach to the skillet. Continue cooking until the spinach is heated through and the extra water evaporates. Spoon mixture into pie pan.
• In a large bowl, beat together eggs and cream. Stir in salt, pepper and nutmeg. Pour into pie pan, top with shredded Swiss cheese. dot with remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes until set and golden brown. Cool 5 minutes before serving.

SPINACH PIE

Steps:

• Make the filling: In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and 2 teaspoons salt; cook until garlic is tender, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Transfer mixture to a large bowl; stir in spinach, feta, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, dill, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Fold in eggs until combined.
• Divide mixture evenly between two 9-inch springform pans or two 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie plates; press firmly to flatten.
• Make the topping: In a large bowl, gently toss sliced phyllo to separate, then toss with remaining 1/2 cup oil until coated.
• Divide phyllo between pies, covering the tops evenly and completely. (To freeze, cover pies tightly with plastic wrap, being careful not to flatten topping. Bake within 3 months; do not thaw first.)
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake until heated through and topping is golden brown, about 1 hour 15 minutes for frozen pie (30 minutes for unfrozen pie).

ITALIAN SPINACH AND RICOTTA PIE

Steps:

• Place spinach in a skillet over medium heat and cook until wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain, squeeze dry, and chop finely.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat and add onion. Cook until onion starts to soften, about 3 minutes. Add spinach and cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Stir ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, 2 whole eggs, nutmeg, salt, and pepper into the cooled spinach mixture.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan or pie dish.
• Unwrap the phyllo dough. Keep covered with a damp cloth to prevent phyllo sheets from drying out.
• Lay 1 sheet of phyllo over the buttered dish flush with the edge so that excess phyllo hangs over on only one side of the dish. Brush lightly with melted butter. Top with another sheet of phyllo at a slight angle to the first one. Continue in this manner, with up to 12 sheets, brushing each sheet with butter and working clockwise to lay each at a slight angle to the previous sheet.
• Spoon cheese and spinach mixture evenly into the phyllo-lined dish. Using the back of a spoon, make six indentations in the filling, then carefully place 1 egg yolk in each. Season each yolk with salt and pepper and drizzle with a bit of melted butter.
• Take the extra phyllo dough hanging over the edges of the dish and fold it over to the centre to cover the filling, 1 sheet of phyllo at a time, brushing each one with butter. Brush the top of the whole pie with butter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the phyllo pastry is a dark golden brown, about 40 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm.

SOUTHERN TOMATO SPINACH PIE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven and press pie dough in dish. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Press the pie dough into a pie dish. Crimp the edges if you want to.
• Sprinkle tomatoes with salt and set aside to drain. Place sliced tomatoes on a wire rack nestled into a rimmed baking sheet, and sprinkle both sides with kosher salt (if you don't have a wire rack, you can use a large colander). Set aside.
• Blind bake the crust. Blind bake the pie crust at 350 degrees for approximately 15 minutes, or until just starting to brown using pie weights or beans (see notes).
• Thaw and drain frozen spinach. While the pie crust blind bakes, thaw the frozen spinach and squeeze out as much water as possible. I like to place it frozen in a sturdy colander, run hot water over it until it's thawed, then use a wooden spoon to squeeze as much water out as possible.
• Mix mayo, mozzarella, spinach, and hot sauce. In a large bowl, mix together the mayonnaise (1/2 cup), shredded mozzarella (16 oz.), spinach, and hot sauce, if using (1 tablespoon).
• Pat tomatoes as dry as possible with a paper towel. I recommend patting both sides dry and pressing fairly firmly down on them. You may need to squeeze the water out of the paper towel a few times - the goal is to remove as much water as possible (without smushing them too much so they keep their shape).
• Assemble the pie. Set 5 tomato slices aside. Layer half of the remaining tomatoes on the bottom of pie. Spread half the spinach mixture on top of that. Repeat with the remaining tomatoes and spinach mixture. Place the five reserved tomato slices on top.
• Bake the tomato pie at 350 degrees F. for 35-40 minutes, or until browned and bubbly.
• Allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before cutting the pie into 8 slices. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SPINACH-TOMATO PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F. Coat 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray. Shape dough into 4-inch circle; cover with kitchen towel; let stand 5 minutes. Roll into 11-inch circle on lightly floured surface. Fit into pie plate, and flute rim. Mix spinach, sour cream and shallots in mixing bowl. In separate bowl, whisk together milk, salt, pepper, egg whites and egg. Stir 1/3 cup milk mixture into spinach mixture. Spoon spinach mixture into bottom of prepared crust. Add layer of tomatoes, and top with cheese. Pour remaining milk mixture over cheese. Place pie plate on baking sheet. Bake 45 minutes, or until set. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

SPINACH PIE WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Line a 9-inch pie plate with one crust round.
• Beat one of the eggs with a fork and use a pastry brush to lightly brush egg over the pie crust (you might not need all of the egg- save the rest for brushing the top crust later).
• Beat remaining eggs in a large bowl, using a whisk.
• Add cheese, pepper, and basil and stir to combine.
• Add spinach (make sure it has been drained very well- squeezed over a colander to get out all the freezer moisture), as well as the bread crumbs and tomatoes.
• Pour filling into crust and top with the second crust round.
• Fold edges under to seal and crimp or flute edges as desired.
• Brush with remaining egg wash.
• Cut a few slits in the top crust and bake in a preheated 375 F oven for 25 minutes.
• Cover edges with a ring of foil or a pie sheild, then continue baking another 20 minutes.
• Cool on wire rack at least 15 minutes before attempting to slice.

SARA'S SPINACH PIE

Steps:

• In a large skillet over low heat, heat olive oil. Add onions and pinch of salt, and sauté until soft and beginning to turn golden, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
