Crustless Spinach Pie

Submitted by TPubmgjbd

"Do you have a little bit of leftover ham or mushrooms? It doesn't take much of any of them and you can have a real feast with this Italian pie. I like it best using pepperoni, mushrooms and onions."

This was really good. I made it with some homemade whole milk ricotta and DH's homemade salami, with sauteed mushrooms as my add-in. It took 45 minutes in a 9-inch springform, which I'm glad I used because I think it would have been much too thin in a 10-inch pan. A Iittle drizzle with white truffle oil just before serving added a nice extra layer of flavor. I love that it's so quick to put together and am looking forward to trying different add-in combinations. Thanks for posting - this one's a keeper!

OMG!!! This is the 1st review I've ever entered and all I can say is I saved it for a FENOM! recipe. I made 2 changes - used bacon instead of ham/peperoni as that was what I had available, and I used fresh spinach, steamed, instead of frozen. I've eaten this for 6 meals in a row - my roommate is eating it too and I'll make it again this weekend - THank you thank you thank you!
