Step-by-Step Instructions for Spinach Stuffed Pie
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure a perfectly baked crust and warm filling.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
- Add 2 cloves of minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until aromatic.
- Gradually add 4 cups of washed and chopped fresh spinach, stirring continuously for about 3 to 4 minutes until wilted.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of ricotta cheese, 1 cup of crumbled feta cheese, and ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese with 2 large eggs. Mix until well blended.
- Fold the cooled spinach and onion mixture into the cheese mixture. Add ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste, and 1 tablespoon of fresh or 1 teaspoon of dried dill. Mix until combined.
- Roll out the pre-made 9-inch pie crust and fit it into a pie dish, pressing down to eliminate air bubbles.
- Spoon the spinach and cheese filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Roll out a second pie crust and place it over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal and cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape.
- Beat 1 egg and brush it over the top of the pie for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes
Use fresh spinach for better flavor and texture. Experiment with different cheeses for a unique taste. Pre-bake the crust for a crispy bottom if desired.
