Ingredients

• 5 cups fresh spinach
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 3 ounces crumbled feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1.5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon salt (for salad)
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (for salad)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray or olive oil.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring constantly, until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and baking powder together. Gradually whisk this mixture into the eggs and milk, ensuring no lumps remain.

Step 6

Stir in the crumbled feta cheese, cooked spinach, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pies are puffed and golden on top. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before removing from the tin.

Step 9

While the pies are baking, prepare the tomato salad. Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion. Chop the fresh parsley finely.

Step 10

In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, red onion, and parsley.

Step 11

In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Pour the dressing over the tomato mixture and toss to coat evenly.

Step 12

Serve the warm crustless spinach and feta pies with a generous side of tomato salad. Enjoy!
