Ingredients
Vegetables and Aromatics
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ½ cup white onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 4 cups baby spinach
Cheeses
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Batter
- ½ cup Bisquick baking mix
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 large eggs
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie plate thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Sauté Onions and Spinach: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and baby spinach. Cook until the spinach is wilted, then remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Assemble Base Layer: Spread the sautéed spinach and onion mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie plate. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and grated Parmesan evenly over the spinach layer.
- Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Bisquick baking mix, whole milk, eggs, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until you achieve a smooth batter with no lumps.
- Combine and Pour: Carefully pour the batter over the spinach and cheese layers in the pie plate, ensuring it spreads evenly.
- Bake the Pie: Place the pie plate in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. The pie is done when the top turns golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. The pie can be served warm or at room temperature, making it a versatile dish for any occasion.
Notes
- Ensure the spinach mixture cools slightly before adding the batter to prevent cooking the eggs prematurely.
- The pie can be made ahead and reheated gently in the oven before serving.
- For a crispier top, you can bake the pie for an additional 5 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Substitute Bisquick with a gluten-free baking mix to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Adding fresh herbs such as dill or parsley can enhance the flavor profile.
