I prepare my one-of-a-kind gluten free spinach pie with three delicious cheeses, unlike the traditional Greek Spanakopita which is made with phyllo pastry and feta cheese.
I used to order this scrumptious pie from a little local restaurant many, many, many years ago. Fortunately, my friend had gotten the recipe for us from the chef. And boy I’m glad she did because it’s AMAZING and the restaurant is no longer there.
So I kept my recipe all these years that was scribbled on a piece of scrap paper. Sometimes I think that the recipes that are scribbled on scrap paper are the best ones. Don’t you?
Once you taste this you will want to serve it at luncheons, pot lucks, or bring it as a housewarming gift. In fact, gluten-free spinach pie has been a special custom in our home for New Year’s Eve celebrations. It’s just exceptional.
For the crust, I choose Kinnikinnick pie crust. As it says on the package: gluten free never tasted so good.
I’d love to hear how you like this spinach pie. Let me know in the comments below. Have a happy and healthy week, friends! 💕

This looks good. I’ve heard of spinach pie, but never been able to try it. Won’t be able to do so today since I’m snowed in without frozen spinach.

Aw, I know. This snow makes me just want to grab a throw blanket, light a fire in the fireplace, curl up on the couch and wait for Spring to arrive.
If you do get a chance to try this recipe, I hope you’ll come back and tell me how you like it.
