Secretly Delicious Spinach Pie
The tortilla adds a delicious crunchy shell and it smells so good while it is cooking. I actually made up this recipe from items in my kitchen and couldn't believe how wonderful it tasted! It is now a hit in my family and so EASY to make. Please rate and give feedback.
Update: Since I first made this five years ago, we still enjoy this at least once a month. I have found that I can alternate the ingredients to use up items I have in the fridge. I have used mushrooms, sauteed onions, cherry tomatoes and even feta cheese instead of cheddar cheese. And it always comes out fantastic. I have also found that there are times I need to use more or less eggs depending on the ingredients. Also, a glass pie pan is so much better than a metal as it toasts the tortilla just right. Such an easy recipe with gourmet taste!

This was fantastic!!! Even my son, the world pickiest eater, ate his whole piece. I used a whole wheat tortilla for the base. I used another reviewers suggestion and sauteed the onion and 3 cloves of garlic, then added the fresh spinach to the pan till it got wilty. I spread that on top of the cheese. I didn't have lemon pepper, so I just added pepper and a tbsp of lemon juice to the mixture. I also added a bit of Herbamare seasoning and a pinch of cayenne. Served it with salsa. Sooooo delicious!!! -
Recently, my wife asked me if I could cook meals once per week. I rarely cook, when I do it's 99% of the time limited to some sort of pasta dish... and most other times when I am in the kitchen end up becoming a disaster! Not only was this easier to make than pasta, but it was a lot of fun, satisfying, and really really delicious. I'm pretty proud of myself, and my wife was so happy with it that she took pictures (which we uploaded to this site). We will definitely be making this "easy quiche" again!!

I love this and make it at least once a month. Usually I substitute flax for a couple of the eggs and use whatever cheese I have, but otherwise make it just as it says. So easy and yummy!

Delicious! I added onion and used montreal seasoning instead of lemon pepper. I minced regular garlic and sauteed it with the onions. Made this dish just to use up spinach and ate it for breakfast every morning for a week and didn't get tired of it. I'm making it again next week. Thanks!

I love making breakfast for company and decided it was time to try something new rather than all of my usual favorites. I had my daughter help by tearing the spinach and layering it with the cheese and I have to be honest, she thought it looked rather disgusting. Once it was out of the oven though, she tried it and declared that it would be perfect to serve at the brunch on the morning after her wedding!! I made two of these "pies", along with bacon and other egg dishes and they ate every bit of them. I followed the recipe except that I forgot to get garlic so I added garlic powder to the eggs. The one thing I will do differently next time (and there will be lots of next times!) is to layer the bacon with the spinach and cheese. Pouring it in with the eggs, it stayed on top of the pie and was a bit overcooked and dry. Thanks for a new favorite!
