Spinach Pie with Muenster Crust
(Southern Living 20th Anniversary Cookbook)
3 (10-ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed
2 (6-ounces) packages Muenster cheese slices or sliced in deli
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 cup reduced fat cottage cheese
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
Garnish: pimiento strips
Drain spinach well, pressing between layers of paper towels, and set aside. Cut 2 or 3 cheese slices into small triangles and reserve for top of pie. Cover bottom and sides of a lightly greased 0-inch pie plate with remaining Muenster slices, overlapping cheese as needed. Combine spinach, onion, and next 5 ingredients, spoon into cheese-lined pie plate. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until set. Top with reserved cheese triangles. Cool 10 minutes before serving. Garnish if desired.
