INGREDIENTS

Crust:
One 9" Pie Crust
FILLING:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry or fresh chopped
1 cup ricotta cheese
4-6 ounces shredded Mozzarella cheese (less cheese is easier to fold crust)
4-6 ounces shredded Pepper Jack cheese or your choice (less cheese is easier to fold crust)
1 large eggs
1 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
¼ teaspoon salt
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350°F. Baking sheet spray with nonstick spray.

In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat for about 1 minute. Add the onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes, stirring often. Set aside.

In a large bowl, stir together onion, drained spinach, all the cheese, egg, dill, parsley, salt and black pepper. Spread gently on half of pie crust. Fold the pie crust over in half and pinch edges together. Brush pastry lightly with melted butter. Top with a little parsley. 

Bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbling gently, about 30-45 minutes. Slice into wedges. Serve warm.

NOTES

*If covered tightly and refrigerated, this pie can be assembled early in the day and baked later. Cold pot pie will probably need to bake an additional 5 minutes.
