Christmas Eve is usually the big Capasso meal. Which means we like to scale it back on Christmas morning (sort of). Spinach pie combines veggies and eggs in a handheld snack that’s easy to hold while you’re opening presents. And it’s so easy, a 19-month old can help you prepare it!
SPINACH PIE
1 garlic clove, crushed
2T olive oil
2 10oz packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/2lb mozzarella cheese, cubed (use the brick cheese, not a fresh ball)
1/4C Parmesan cheese, grated
8 eggs, beaten
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 unbaked 10-inch pie crust
Swish garlic in heated olive oil. Remove from skillet and add spinach, stirring to coat with oil. Combine eggs, cheeses, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add spinach and stir to blend. Pour into unbaked pie shell and bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. Cool, slice and serve.
See? I told you a 19-month old could do it. Mangia!
