My 18 month old who refuses to eat veggies just gulped down a piece like it was chocolate cake. I puréed the spinach with the ricotta so she wouldn’t detect it and lessened the salt. It tastes like the filling of a pasta, very rich to eat on its own, but tasty. You need to really like cheese to enjoy it, which my daughter does. I won’t eat a lot because that much cheese it rough on my diet, but if that isn’t your concern, enjoy!
This was delicious. As other reviewers, I tweaked it but just a little- added fresh garlic, onion powder and one egg. Used 16 Oz of frozen spinach because the bag I had was 16 Oz. Turned out great! Would definitely make it again.
pretty good, decent flavor… needed.. something… I think next time I’ll add mushrooms to the filling and maybe an eggwash to the crust
I made this last night for the first time. I did take other reviewers advice: I doubled the spinach, cut cheeses in half and added onions and mushrooms. I absolutely loved this! I will definitely make again; however, I don’t know that I will double the spinach next time. Thanks for the great recipe!
Absolutely loved this recipe! The only thing I changed was that I made my own pie crust.
Love this and wouldn’t change a thing the next time I make it.
No Changes. Delicious.
The recipe is fabulous! I added 1 cup of cooked chicken. I sliced the second pie and froze the slices individually for later.
This was sooo cheesy. Next time, I will double the spinach, and not add salt, because it was a bit too salty for my taste. I did add the egg, as some reviewers said to, and it was tasty.
I looked up some other reviews & decided to add 1 egg. Absolutely fantastic!!! Will definitely make this again!!!
This has become my 10 year olds favorite! The only change I’ve made is I do not put it in a crust.
very good a little too much cheese
The potential is definitely there for this to be an awesome recipe, but I found it to be quite bland.
Loved this recipe!!! I made a few changes. I browned turkey italian sausage in olive oil with garlic and onion powder and added to the pie mixture. I also eyeballed the cheeses, using less than what the recipe called for.
This is a great dish for spinach lovers. We added a little feta cheese and a few drops of hot sauce as modifications.
This is a great recipe. I used swiss chard instead, you just have to take a lot of the stem off and chop in the food processor to get if fine enough.
This would be a great chip dip, but it made us a little sick to just eat it as a side or entree. Fantastic dip though.
Made this recipe last night. I was dissapointed how it came out. Way to much filling for the pie shell and was dry. I feel something was left out of the recipe. I won’t be making this again.
This recipe is great, but I did add some onion & next time will bake in different dish. Would have preferred a thinner pie, but flavor is great & my super picky Hubby loved it! So easy too!
Just wonderful. I read the reviews and did add 3 beaten eggs along with sauted onions and mushrooms, I did not change any of the other ingredients. It made 2 pies.
Like most other readers I removed the second pie crust, making it more of a quiche. I also removed half of the cheese, added three beaten eggs and mixed in some sauteed onions, mushrooms and garlic. The result was delicious, I will definitely make this again
