Simple Spinach Pie
Ingredients
- Canola cooking oil spray
- 3 packages (10 oz. each) frozen spinach
- 1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 2 large egg whites at room temperature
- 1/4 C. (1 oz.) crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese
- 1/4 C. all-purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp. salt, or to taste
- 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 C. reduced-sodium, fat-free chicken broth
- 1/4 C. chopped dill (4 tsp. crumbled dried)
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat an 8-inch spring-form pan with spray. Set aside. Cook spinach according to package directions. When cool enough to handle, squeeze spinach out to remove most of the water. Coarsely chop spinach. Transfer to a bowl and toss with olive oil. In medium bowl, whisk egg whites until foamy. Mix in feta cheese, flour, salt and pepper to make a sticky dough. Stir in chicken broth and dill. Add spinach and mix well to combine. Spread mixture in prepared pan into an even layer. Bake 15 minutes, until set. Cool in pan. Release spring-lock and carefully remove sides of pan. Cut into8 slices. With wide metal spatula, transfer slices to serving plate, arranging them in a circular pattern, pointed ends facing inward. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Yield: 6 Servings.
