Spinach pie

Ingredients:

Whole wheat pie crust*

about 400 gr frozen spinach 

4 cloves of garlic

3 eggs 

1 large ball of fresh mozzarella cheese or 300 gr feta cheese

some curry powder (optional)

1-2 big onions 

olive oil

salt and pepper

Preheat the oven to 170 C. Sauté the chopped onion and sliced garlic in olive oil until the onion is soft and the garlic lightly browned. Add the fresh spinach a few handfuls at a time, allowing it to wilt down. Add about two teaspoons of curry powder, or to taste. Or leave it out if that’s how you feel about it. Beat three eggs in a medium sized bowl. Slice the mozzarella. Add the spinach mixture to the eggs and stir well to combine evenly. Put half of the spinach and egg mixture in the pie crust and lay out the slices of cheese on top. Add the rest of the spinach and egg mixture so that the pie crust is filled to the top. Bake for twenty minutes (approximately) until the quiche is firm and the center is cooked. If it’s not fully cooked you’re worried about burning the crust you can wrap the edge in aluminum foil to prevent burning while still allowing the center to cook through. You can also add some nuts to the spinach.
