Greek Spinach Pie

I wanted to make a low carb spinach pie, and found this recipe,

Ingredients:

Pie Crust:

• 2 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1 large egg (beaten)

Filling:

• 4 cups spinach or kale (shredded, sauted lightly and squeezed to remove water)
• 8 oz Feta cheese (crumbled)
• 4 oz cottage cheese (drained)
• 2 oz shredded mozzarella cheese + a couple of tablespoons
  
• 4 cloves garlic (minced, or 1 teaspoon granulated)
• 1/3 tbsp dry dill weed (optional)
  
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  
• 3 large eggs, beaten

 

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C).
2. Line the bottom of a 9 in (23 cm) round pie pan with parchment paper, or spray well with cooking spray. (I used the cooking spray, and it worked fine.)
   
3. In a food processor bowl, mix together the almond flour and salt.
4. Whirr in the melted butter and egg, until well combined. (It will start dry and crumbly, but keep mixing until it's uniform.)
5. Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden.
7. Stir together all the filling ingredients, adding the eggs last.
8. Transfer the filling into pan and smooth the top.
9. Place the pie on a baking sheet before placing in the oven to catch any drips.
   (When baked in my pretty red pie pan, the crust weeps some butter.)
   
10. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the center is firm.

 

Carole's Notes:

We liked this! As Doug says 'everything tastes better as pie'.  We sliced this into 6 lunch sized pieces.
