Ingredients
Scale
Spinach Mixture
- 1 pound fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup almond flour
- 3 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the spinach pie.
- Sauté Onions: In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and sauté the chopped onions until they become translucent and fragrant, which usually takes about 3-5 minutes.
- Cook Spinach: Add the fresh spinach to the skillet with the onions and cook until the spinach is fully wilted, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking and no excess moisture remains.
- Mix Ingredients: Transfer the cooked spinach and onions to a mixing bowl. Add the crumbled feta cheese, eggs, almond flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Mix everything thoroughly until you have a well-combined mixture.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a baking dish lightly with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking, then pour the spinach mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the pie is set in the center and the top is lightly golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool slightly for 10 minutes. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature for best taste and texture.
Notes
- Ensure the spinach is cooked until all moisture evaporates to avoid a soggy pie.
- You can substitute almond flour with coconut flour, but adjust the quantity as coconut flour is more absorbent.
- Use full-fat feta cheese for richer flavor and better keto compliance.
- Serve with a side of Greek yogurt or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently before serving.
