Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish or baking dish lightly with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped scallions and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes, or until they become fragrant and soft.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, which should take about 3-4 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. Once wilted, remove the skillet from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese and grated cheddar cheese. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, self-raising flour, and milk until smooth. There should be no lumps in the batter.
Add the sautéed spinach mixture, chopped dill, and half of the cheese mixture to the batter. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Pour the mixture into the greased pie dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese mixture evenly over the top.
Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the pie is set and golden brown on top. You can test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Allow the pie to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps it set completely and makes it easier to cut.
Tips:
- To ensure the spinach is tender, you may consider lightly steaming it before adding it to the mix.
- Feel free to substitute the feta cheese with goat cheese or ricotta for a different flavor profile.
- For a gluten-free version, you can use a gluten-free self-raising flour.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg or cayenne pepper for an extra layer of flavor.
- Ensure the eggs are at room temperature before mixing to achieve a smoother batter.
- Let the pie cool slightly before cutting into it to allow it to set properly.
This Spinach impossible pie is a versatile and nutritious dish that's easy to prepare and full of flavor. Whether you're serving it at a gathering or simply enjoying it as a meal, the combination of spinach, cheeses, and fresh herbs will surely impress. Enjoy this delightful pie warm out of the oven or even as leftovers – it's delicious either way.
