Spinach Pie
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. This pie turns out not only incredibly delicious but also quite nutritious—ideal for a hearty breakfast or a snack during the day. For this recipe, you can use both fresh and frozen spinach. The filling can be used on its own, but I recommend adding sautéed onion for a more pronounced flavor and aroma. If desired, you can substitute the onion with any other vegetables or add boiled eggs, rice, or cottage cheese to the spinach. In any case, don't doubt it—this will be delicious. Serve with tea or coffee.
