Eggs… eggs… eggs… I could eat eggs with everything everyday…
egg pie with spinach
This egg pie with spinach was born one day when I was in the mood for eggs and pie at the same time! I didn’t have any ready made pastry in the freezer and I was too lazy to make my own pie dough! So I looked online and incredibly I found someone that had the same problem and came up with this alternative which is a pie without pastry using boiled eggs, cabbage and salmon. What a good idea! As i don’t like cabbage and there wasn’t any salmon in my fridge, I ended up using the ingredients I had: eggs, spinach and ham… and it came out really good 🙂 We had it warm on the day I cooked it and the leftovers were eaten cold the day after. It taste really good both ways. This makes it also a good dish for picnics 🙂
Now my new objective is to cook this recipe using salmon, asparagus and cream cheese. Don’t you think it would be a really nice combination?
