Recipe: Spinach Pie

Ingredients:

2 frozen pie shells (Yup. Storebought! With pastry, I cheat. My own pastry is awful, awful, awful. My grandmother did her best, but I totally failed that part of her training.)

1 pkg frozen spinach (10 oz), thawed and squeezed out
1 cup cottage cheese
3 large eggs
1 medium onion, diced
1 tablespoon dried dill

Method:

Prepare pie shells as per package directions.

Mix all other ingredients in medium bowl, pour into pie shells, bake at 325 for 30 minutes, until set. Let cool 5 - 10 minutes before cutting. Excellent hot or cold.

n.b.  If you put this in phyllo pastry instead of a pie shell, it becomes, magicallly, spanakopita!!! (And gains about a gazillion calories, while becoming much fiddlier to make. Yummy, but only for the occasional treat, I figure.)
