Spinach Pie

Preheat oven to 350 F


Two crust home made pie dough recipe (I didn’t have enough shortening for two crusts
so I made a crumb topping with I/2 stick of butter, homemade bread crumbs and
a cup of cheddar cheese).

Filling:

7 hard cooked eggs

3 packages frozen chopped spinach, cooked and drained thoroughly OR
5 or 6 bags of fresh spinach - use a huge skillet - it really cooks down

2 large onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
! Tablespoon olive oil
  Saute the onion and garlic in a large skillet until translucent

Season with salt, pepper, about 1 Tablespoon fresh or 1 teas.dried oregano,
1 or 2 Tablespoons fresh chopped parsley

Stir in 2 raw eggs

2 large handfuls of cheddar cheese (I LOVE extra sharp cheddar cheese so I use a lot. 

Add the prepared drained spinach and stir thoroughly.

Preparing the pie:

Make a bed of spinach in the pie shell Arrange the cooked eggs on top - one in the center and the rest like spokes on a wheel.

Make sure that all the eggs are completely covered with the spinach. 

Top with crust or with crumb mixture. 

Bake for about an hour.

Wonderful warm - also great cold and delightful on a picnic!
