Crustless Spinach Pie – Greek Spanakopita

Crustless Spinach Pie, also called Greek Spanakopita. It has all of the flavors and many of the same ingredients as Greek Spinach Pie, without the crust. It’s like a spinach pie casserole. 

One of my favorite things to order at a Greek restaurant is Spinach Pie or Spanakopita. I love the flavors of the spinach mixed with the tart saltiness of the feta cheese. 

I’ve made Spanakopita using filo dough sheets before, but I really wanted to create a recipe that had all of the same flavors without the work of the filo dough sheets. I also wanted something that I could bake and serve at any time. That’s when I came up with the idea of a Crustless Spinach Pie – Greek Spanakopita. 

ingredients in Spinach pie – greek spanakopita 

• Frozen Spinach – I use chopped frozen spinach.
• Onion 
• Ricotta Cheese – This may be a little unorthodox but I love the way the creamy ricotta melts in this recipe.
• Feta Cheese – I highly recommend that you buy a block of feta cheese rather than crumbled feta cheese. It’s easy to crumble yourself and the taste and texture are much better.
• Parmesan Cheese 
• Dried Dill Weed
• Eggs
• Panko bread crumbs – this ingredient is optional for those on low-carb or Keto diets.
• Black pepper

I wouldn’t be a very good food blogger and recipe developer if I didn’t tell you how wonderful this recipe smells the minute you scoop out a piece. And if the smell is not enough, the taste is C.R.A.Z.Y good! 

This is now my new potluck and party recipe for sure!

how to serve this dish

I served this as a vegetable side dish with grilled chicken. Since I had leftovers, I served it again the next morning as a side with our sunnyside up eggs. I really think you can serve it with just about any grill or baked meat or fish. You can even serve it as a meatless option – just add a slide of pita bread and Greek tzatziki sauce.
