108 Reviews of Secretly Delicious Spinach Pie

From: HolySmokes_5_4_3_2_and_1

On Apr 5, 2005

Holy Smokes! So good and simple to cook. When done, I can eat the pie slice like I would a pizza. No cutting or slicing to eat - the tortilla shell cooks to a crisp and is sturdy enough to eat with your hand. Had to use 8 small eggs. Love it with salsa, I am a salsa person anyway. Will pre-cook bacon and cook daily. Prep time is hardly a minute. Doesn't taste that good cold, so eat up all of it.

    I skipped the lemon pepper (used more salt), used chopped frozen spinach (thawed and squeezed of moisture), used one regular garlic clove instead of roasted, used less cheese, substituted 1 T. bacon bits for the bacon, and added thinly sliced mushrooms to the spinach layer (which was really a plus!). One thing: make sure you grease the pie pan, as my tortilla stuck. Next time I plan to use a whole wheat tortilla, and 2 whole eggs plus 4-5 egg whites to make it even healthier. What an easy way to make a nice egg dish without the fuss!

    Yum! I love spinach, and this is a different way to make it (please see how I rate recipes). Also, it was another use for the wonderful roasted garlic I saw on Daisy Cooks! with Daisy Martinez (whole bulbs of garlic drizzled with olive oil, wrapped in aluminum foil and cooked in oven for 1 hour at 350 degrees). The pie was really easy to put together, and a pleasure to eat.

    Oh my gawd! This is so good. I cut the fat down by using 2 cups substitute-egg mix and 3 eggs. I love it with the salsa and my husband loves it with sour cream. I love bacon but don't ever eat it. For this recipe, you don't need that much to get the flavor. Make sure you actually use the roasted garlic instead of regular garlic. I tried both variations and you can tell the difference. You can buy a jar of roasted garlic at any store in the produce department.

    Be sure to use a glass pie plate. Don't substitute the roasted garlic.

    Sweat heavens above, this was delicious! My first RecipeZaar recipe and it was a big hit. The roasted gave everything a nice savory flavor, and the dish was quite filling. My boyfriend (a spinach-egg-cheese fiend) ate 2/3 and I polished off the rest. He's insisted that I must make this again. I like it with salsa, he likes it without. It's good either way.

    Very tasty and so-o-o- simple!!!! I used 5 large eggs and it turned out great...will add a little more roasted garlic next time (garlic fiends here!) Will keep this one in my "faves" cookbook.

    This is a fast and delicious recipe. I used eggbeaters, soy bacon, reduced fat cheese and a spinach tortilla. It turned out great!

    This was really good, especially with the salsa. I used onions b/c I aleady had some cut up. My tortilla was too small so the egg stuff spilled over the edge, but that was okay. I didn't have a glass dish so I used aluminum and it worked fine. I also had to add two eggs.

    This quiche-like spinach pie was easy to make and everyone loved it. After I had layered the spinach and cheese, I wasn't sure I'd be able to pour in the egg mixture without it running outside of the tortilla. But it seemed to just fill in the cracks in the spinach and cheese heap so everything stayed in place! This would be a great breakfast for a Saturday morning
