ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 chopped yellow onion
- 1 bunch chopped green onion
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 9 ounces chopped arthicoke hearts
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon soffrito seasoning (or red pepper flakes)
- 10 ounces chopped spinach
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 2 frozen and thawed gluten free pie crusts (my favorite are by whole foods, and wholly wholesome)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Method
Step 1
Rinse, and thoroughly dry artichoke hearts, chop and set aside.
Step 2
Rinse, and thoroughly dry spinach. Chop, and set aside. Preheat oven to 350.
Step 3
In a deep pan, heat olive oil, and add onion. Cook to soften, about three minutes.
Step 4
Add green onion, and a pinch of kosher salt.
Step 5
Add artichoke hearts, breaking up lightly with a wooden spoon.
Step 6
Add garlic, parsley, and red pepper flakes or soffrito seasoning.
Step 7
Finally, add spinach, and cook to reduce. About five minutes. ( You'll be able to tell when it's done! It will dramatically reduce, as spinach does!)
Step 8
Remove from heat, and set aside to cool completely while you make the rest of the filling.
Step 9
In a large bowl, whisk two eggs lightly.
Step 10
Add cheeses, and fold together.
Step 11
Fold in FULLY cooled spinach mixture.
Step 12
Transfer mixture to one of your pie shells. Spread out evenly. Top with additional parmesan cheese.
Step 13
Flip your second pie crust upside down, and place onto the filled pie. This will flatten out during baking, and will become the flaky top layer.
Step 14
Bake for 50 minutes on the center oven rack.
Step 15
Remove from oven, and brush top with melted butter. Return to oven for an additional 10 minutes, until golden brown. Broil on low for an additional few minutes if needed.
