Ham and Spinach
Pie Recipe
Ingredients :
3 tablespoons
butter, divided
1 medium onion,
halved and sliced
8 ounces sliced
fresh mushrooms
1 garlic clove,
minced
1 package (10
ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
6 sheets phyllo
dough (14x9 inches)
2 cups finely
chopped fully cooked ham
1 cup shredded
mozzarella cheese
3 large eggs,
beaten
Salt and pepper
to taste, optional
Preheat oven to
350°. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add onion;
cook and stir until transparent 6-8 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic; cook and
stir until mushrooms are browned, about 6 minutes longer. Add spinach; cook
until heated through.
In a microwave,
melt remaining butter; stir until smooth. Place 1 sheet of phyllo dough on a
work surface; brush with butter. Layer with 3 additional phyllo sheets,
brushing each layer. Transfer to a lightly greased 11x7-in. baking dish,
letting ends extend up sides. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with a damp towel
to prevent it from drying out.)
Layer dish with
ham, cheese and spinach mixture; pour eggs over filling. If desired, sprinkle
with salt and pepper. Top with remaining phyllo dough. Fold dough ends over
filling; pinch edges to seal. Brush with remaining butter. Cut slits in the
top. Bake until browned, 40-45 minutes. Cool 20 minutes before cutting.
