Crustless Spinach and Cheese Pie (Spanakopita)

Serve the spinach and cheese pie with a simple salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze slices for up to 3 months—just reheat in the oven.
Variations:

Add chopped onions, garlic, or fresh herbs like dill or parsley for extra flavor.
For a slightly different texture, you can swap the ricotta cheese for cottage cheese or cream cheese.
For a spicier kick, incorporate some red pepper flakes or chopped jalapeños.
FAQ:

Can I use frozen spinach instead of fresh?
Yes, frozen spinach works perfectly well. Just be sure to thaw and thoroughly drain it to remove excess moisture.

Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the pie in advance and store it in the fridge. Just bake it when you’re ready to serve, or reheat it gently in the oven.

Can I make this pie without cheese?
While the cheeses add flavor and texture, you can make a dairy-free version by using vegan cheese alternatives or simply omitting the cheese for a more vegetable-forward dish.
