Crustless Spinach and Cheese Pie

Recipe makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

4 cups fresh spinach (or 1 package frozen spinach, thawed and drained)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup ricotta cheese
4 large eggs
½ cup heavy cream (or whole milk)
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp ground black pepper
½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
1 Tbsp olive oil (for greasing the dish)

Instructions:

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch (23cm) pie dish or baking dish with olive oil.

If using fresh spinach, sauté it in a pan with a little olive oil until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Drain any excess moisture. If using frozen spinach, make sure it is well-drained.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, ricotta cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the sautéed (or thawed) spinach, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese until everything is evenly combined.

Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the pie is set and lightly golden on top.

Let the pie cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
