Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of white rice with 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer until the rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Rinse the spinach thoroughly and roughly chop it. Set aside.
- Heat 1/2 cup of peanut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Add the bacon strip to the skillet and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon and set it aside, but leave the oil in the skillet.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent and soft, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet with the onions. Cook until the spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, sautéed spinach and onions, crumbled bacon, and 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese.
- In a separate bowl, beat 1 egg and add it to the mixture. Mix well to combine.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets if needed to fit your baking dish.
- Line a baking dish with one sheet of puff pastry, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides of the dish.
- Pour the spinach and rice mixture into the puff pastry-lined baking dish, smoothing the top with a spoon.
- Carefully place the second puff pastry sheet on top, pressing the edges together to seal. Trim any excess pastry.
- In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon of milk. Brush this mixture over the top layer of the puff pastry to give it a golden, glossy finish.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips:
- Ensure that your puff pastry is fully thawed before use to avoid tearing.
- Sauté the onion until it is translucent to release its full flavor.
- Blanch the spinach briefly to retain its vibrant color and nutrients.
- Use a fork to crimp the edges of the puff pastry for a decorative touch.
- Par-bake the pie crust to maintain its crispiness and avoid a soggy bottom.
- Let the pie cool slightly before cutting to ensure the filling sets properly.
With its savory, cheesy filling encased in a crispy puff pastry, this spinach pie is sure to become a favorite in your household. Just follow these simple steps and tips, and you'll be enjoying this delicious dish in no time. Bon appétit!
