Tivoli Family Spinach Pie
Not sure if breakfast is the right place for this; it's a family recipe we've eaten my whole life, but we have it for breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack. Anyway, we love it and people who've had it at my house all love it, so here goes:
10 boxes frozen chopped spinach
6-8 eggs
12-16 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
Salt and pepper to taste
Couple of handfuls of sliced green onion, optional
Cook the spinach in the microwave, then drain using cheesecloth. The drier you can get the spinach, the better. (I wrap bunches of it in cheesecloth then squeeze it in an old-fashioned metal juicer.)
Mix everything together to taste, and spread into a 9-by-13 pan. Bake at 350 about an hour, or until it's a little brown on top. Serve warm or cold.
No nutritionals handy, but I ran it through a Weight Watchers recipe program at home recently. I believe for an eighth of a pie (which is a nice-size piece even for me), it came to about 5 grams net carb (after subtracting fiber). Nice and high in fat, too, if you use real feta and eggs (but for those who prefer lower fat, it works fine with egg substitute and reduced-fat feta, too).
