Spinach Ricotta Pie

Savory Pies? Is that a thing?

It is when we’re talking about a Spinach Ricotta Pie! I mean, guys this is an incredible combination.  Green leaves to make you feel healthy with a load of cheesy goodness, because balance. Am I right?

This pie is great for so many reasons.  I mean, you can make it as a party appetizer or for dinner.  If you’re going to make it for dinner, feel free to throw in some shredded chicken for a little protein. Or just skip that altogether if you’re into a vegetarian dish.  If you’re making this as an app, make them in mini pies.  Please, I beg you.  They’re adorable.

This pie can be easily transformed into a mini version by just using a glass to make rounds of dough and placing them in a muffin tin.  Then prep and fill from there! You should be good to go and your pies will bake in no time.  Again, the adorableness of these pies makes it totally worth the extra 10 minutes of cutting out the pie dough into little circles.

Now, believe it or not, this takes a lot of spinach.  Have you seen that meme of a pan full of spinach and then another photo next to it of 3 wilted leaves? That’s what this felt like.  I did an entire bag of spinach and it looked like nothing in the end! Hahaha Oh well, at least it’s a great way to get your veggies in!

Anyway, let’s get to the recipe because this is a good one.  Eat it for dinner or make (a bunch of adorable minis) as a holiday appetizer! Whatever you decide, let me know! Tag me on Instagram so I can see :) #toeatdrinkandbemarried
