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

Crustless Spinach Pie - Spanakopita

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

  • Frozen Spinach – I use chopped frozen spinach.
  • Onion – 1/2 diced 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

You won’t believe how wonderful this dish smells the minute you scoop a piece out of the baking dish. 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 grilled 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.

    I did this recipe but with the crust. I like your recipe because you remove the crust and it’s “healthier”
    Amazing job Laura!

      I love the phyllo dough crust version too Carlos. But I find this is a great way to serve it as a side dish casserole.

    I love that this is crustless – so much healthier and lower carb! I worked in Greek restaurants when I was younger so often crave this. Now I can get my fix without breaking the weight watchers points bank!

    I’m a big fan of spanakopita too, and this sounds great not only for being low carb, if that’s what you are looking for, but also quicker to make too.

    This looks amazing, I do have a question. The recipe says bake uncovered for 30 min then states remove cover and bake addional 5 to 7 min. Does it require covering while baking ?

      Thank you for your comment. Yes, it should be baked Covered for 30 minutes and then Uncovered for the additional time. Hope you like it as much as we do!
