Spinach Pie Recipe

Hi friends, Thank you so much for stopping by. I just wanted to share with you this very delicious spinach pie recipe.

I cooked this delicious spinach pie the other day for my family, and let me tell you it did not last long. Everybody enjoyed it so much and my husband declared it the best one I’ve ever made!

I have previously made different versions of spinach pie but this one was hands down the best. I’ll let you in on the secret. I had some garlic dip that needed to be used up so I added a couple of generous spoonfuls to the mix. Friends it took it to the next level of deliciousness. The spinach pie was creamier and much tastier than what I have ever made before.

If you don’t have garlic dip, that’s ok but if you do have some in your fridge then definitely add it and you will know what I mean with the first bite!
