Spinach Feta Pie with an Almond Flour Crust by

Ingredients

Crust
2 1/2 cups almond flour (240 g)
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp melted butter (42g)
1 egg
Filling
3 eggs
200g feta, crumbled
280g spinach

Instructions

Crust
Preheat oven to 375˘XF/190˘XC. Lightly grease a 9 inch loose bottom pie/tart pan. Set it aside.
Add the almond flour and salt to a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
Stir in the butter. Mix until you get a soft, sandy-like texture. I find it easy just using my hands here.
Add the egg and mix until a soft dough comes together.
Transfer the dough to a 9 inch pie plate. Use your hands to press the dough into the pie dish to form your crust. The dough may feel a little oily at this point.
Filling
1. Add the spinach to large non stick skillet over a medium heat. Cover and let the spinach wilt, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool a few minutes.
2. Whisk the eggs in a medium sized bowl. Stir in the crumbled feta
3. Mix the spinach into the egg-feta mixture.
4. Pour the filling over the crust - spread so it bakes evenly. Place in the oven and bake for 30-32 minutes. Check the pie after 20 minutes. If the crust is browning too quickly, cover the top with foil.
5. Remove from oven, let cool for 5 minutes and then slice and serve.
Notes
Use frozen spinach instead of fresh: Defrost the spinach and squeeze out the excess water before mixing it into the feta + egg mixture.
Freeze for later: Leftovers can be wrapped up tightly and frozen for up to 3 months. If you want to freeze the whole pie to enjoy at a later time, bake the pie first and let it cool completely before wrapping it up tightly. Let it thaw in the fridge overnight before heating it up again.
