When I first made this Spinach and Feta Spring Brunch Pie, I was amazed at how simple yet flavorful it turned out. The buttery crust perfectly complemented the filling, and I realized that using fresh, seasonal ingredients made all the difference. I recommend sautéing the spinach briefly before adding it to keep its vibrant color and enhance its flavor.

Every time I serve this pie, I receive compliments about the delicious combination of feta cheese and spinach. For an extra touch, I sometimes add a sprinkle of nutmeg to the filling just before baking, which elevates the dish and makes it even more inviting. This pie has truly become a showstopper at my brunches!

Ingredients

For the Pie Crust

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
1 teaspoon salt
3 to 4 tablespoons ice water

For the Filling

2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
3 large eggs
½ cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

Make the Pie Crust

In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the mixture forms a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Prepare the Filling

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Sauté the chopped spinach in a pan for 2-3 minutes until wilted. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, black pepper, garlic powder, and nutmeg. Stir in the spinach and feta.

Assemble the Pie

Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a pie dish. Place the crust in the dish and pour the filling into the shell. Bake for 40 minutes until the filling is set and the top is golden.

Pro Tips

For a crispy crust, bake the crust for 10 minutes before adding the filling. Experiment with additional herbs like dill or parsley for extra flavor!
