Ingredients
- 1 pie crust refrigerated or homemade
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil or coconut oil
- 1 small onion minced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 10 ounces package of frozen chopped spinach thawed and drained
- 2 large whole eggs or ⅓ cup egg whites
- 1 cup low fat cottage cheese
- ½ cup feta cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- Prepare pie crust or take your bought pie crust out of the refrigerator and follow the directions on the box for preparing. The one I have used is Immaculate brand and it says to let it get to room temperature for 25-30 minutes before unrolling into the pie dish.
- Heat oil in a small pan
- Cook the chopped onion and garlic for about 10 minutes until onions are translucent.
- In a small bowl, add the spinach (be sure to squeeze all the water out), balsamic, oregano, cottage cheese, feta cheese, egg whites, and pepper.
- Add the onions and garlic after soft and mix together evenly.
- Spoon into pie crust
- Cook for 20-25 minutes. Cover the crust foil or crust shield to keep from getting too brown.

Notes
- Use ricotta instead of cottage cheese
- Add diced mushrooms if preferred
- Add diced cooked bacon if desired
- Use a gluten free crust if needed.
