Crustless Spinach And Feta Pies With Tomato Salad

Crustless Spinach And Feta Pies With Tomato Salad


1. Tomato Salad:

2. Toss the tomatoes together with the pepperoncini and olives in a salad bowl. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano salt and black pepper to taste. Toss again.

3. Spinach Pies:

4. Put a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.

5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

6. Squeeze excess liquid out of spinach.

7. Add the spinach and scallions to the skillet and cook, stirring, until dry - about 4 to 5 minutes.

8. Transfer to a colander and press with the back of a spoon to get rid of the last bits of moisture.

9. Brush 4 6-oz. ramekins with some olive oil and put them on a baking sheet.

10. Put spinach mixture, eggs, half-and-half, bread crumbs, mint, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper and nutmeg into a food processor and pulse until the spinach is finely chopped. Remove blade and stir in the feta cheese.

11. Divide the mixture evenly between the 4 ramekins.

12. Bake until set around the edges but still a little bit soft in the center - about 20 minutes. Turn oven off, leaving the spinach pies inside to set. Keep them in the oven for another 5 minutes.

13. Run a knife around the edge of each pie and invert onto plates. Spoon some tomato salad around each and serve.
