This bake is one of the favorite spinach recipes in our family. It is best served cold so all the flavors can fully develop.
1 lb spinach
5 eggs
1 tablespoon chopped mint
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
4 ounces feta, crumbled
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Gently cook the washed spinach in a saucepan until soft. Put the spinach in a colander to drain off all the excess water. Press the spinach down with the back of a wooden spoon to squeeze out as much water as possible. Chop the spinach coarsely.
In a bowl stir the eggs lightly to combine the yolks and white. Add the chopped spinach, mint and cumin. Stir in feta and season with salt and pepper.
Pour the mixture into a lightly oiled ovenproof dish and bake in a preheated oven (350 degrees Fahrenheit), for 25-30 minutes, or until just set. Leave until cold then cut into wedges or squares to serve.
Makes 4 servings.

I am often making spinach pie in phyllo dough. This is a nice alternative.
Olga, this is so delicious! I love feta and I love it with spinach. I am going to make this. xo,

That sure does look delicious! This would be great for a summer picnic if it's served cold. I might try it!
Best wishes,
Natasha.
Dearest Olga,
What a great combination! What is the diameter of the dish? Thanks for posting this.
Just got back from our 16 day trip to The Netherlands and Germany (home at 2:00 AM this morning...) so finally I can catch up a bit.
Love to you,
Mariette
The dish shouldn't be to big. The diameter is about 8-9 inches.
Hi Olga! This looks like a great dish! I agree with Natasha about it being good and different for a picnic or tailgate party. I'll have to try it.
I love the ingredients in this scrumptious savory pie! This is a great weeknight meal, when you want something delicious but not complicated on the table.

This recipe looks amazingly delicious. I wish I had the ingredients but I 'll have to wait to go shopping. Have a great week Olga.
This would be a great recipe for me to make for my daughter that is vegetarian. I'm always looking for something different for her and the ingredients sound delicious together.
Thanks for sharing Olga.
