At the end of the week we ended up with some extra eggs, some garden spinach and a bag of frozen chopped spinach. Throw in some cheese, make a crust. Voila! Frugal Meal!
Basic Directions—
Make (any old) crust: Combine 2 cups flour, 10 tbsp butter. Then add 5 tbsp water one at a time. Spread into pie plate.
Make filling: Combine 7 eggs, bag of chopped frozen spinach (or your choice of others filling), 1/2 cup of cheese, dash of milk, salt and pepper. You can adjust the ratio of fillings/egg as needed to accommodate more or less extras. We went heavy on spinach and light on egg. Add mushroom, left over cooked meats…you name it!
Pour filling mixture into crust and bake for around 45min to 60min at 375°. It’s ready when it’s not runny.
