Spinach is in season at the moment. We've eaten lots of spinach this winter. We have grown some silverbeet in the garden and English spinach has been cheap to buy - so I've been putting it in curries, pasta bake, pasta sauce and savory muffins. We all loved this pie - Mr Fun has eaten the left-overs for the last few days!
1 bunch spinach, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large brown onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 cup grated tasty cheese
4 eggs
1/2 cup self-raising flour
1 1/2 cups milk
a few slices of stale bread, food processed into crumbs
* Preheat the oven to 180 fan-forced.
* Grease a 23cm pie tray (or similar - I actually used a 24cm square silicone cake tray) and line with the bread crumbs.
* Heat the oil in a pan. Fry the onions and garlic until golden. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Turn off the heat.
* In a bowl or large jug, whisk the eggs and flour together. Add the milk & whisk to combine.
* Combine flour/egg/milk mixture with the spinach/garlic/onion. Add the parsley and cheese and stir through. Pour into the tray on top of the bread crumbs.
* Cook for 35 mins, or until golden and set (if you inset a knife, it should come out clean).
This would be really yummy with bacon too!

Ha ha. We were just given (a lot of) home-grown spinach and I'm looking for easy ideas! Thanks. Looks great.
