Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
cooling time 30 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 1 9-inch pan
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- 1 large bunch or bag fresh spinach around 5-6 cups
- 1/3 cup cream cheese room temperature (about 3 ounces)
- 1/3 cup half and half
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup grated cheddar
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
- 4 green onions sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 425°F.
-
Wash and chop the spinach, removing tough stems. Sautee in a pan over medium heat for about three minutes, or until spinach is wilted. Squeeze as much water out as possible (I put it in a colander and press it with a spatula).
-
Be honest, you didn't let the cream cheese soften first. No worries, just microwave it for about 15-20 seconds.
-
Beat it with the half and half and eggs until smooth-ish then mix in remaining ingredients, including drained spinach. Pour mixture into prepared crust. Bake until filling is set, 25-30 minutes.
-
Cool 10-15 minutes before serving.
