On Pi Day

Pi  (π)
The number Pi, denoted by the Greek letter π - pronounced 'pie', is one of the most common constants in all of mathematics. It is the circumference of any circle, divided by its diameter. Nobody knows its exact value, because no matter how many digits you calculate it to, the number never ends. For most practical uses, you can assume it is 3.142.

Well you guessed it, today I am going to share a recipe for a pie. Although technically not a pie but a quiche,  my kids always called it Spinach Pie, We often have it during Lent since it is a meatless dish.

Ingredients:

• 1  9'"pie crust - I make my own but you can use store bought if you like
• 1 10 oz bag of frozen chopped spinach defrosted and as much liquid squeezed out as possible
• 1 6 oz container of feta cheese - one of the brands of the cheese I use contains "Mediterranean" herbs but you can use plain also
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk - I use whole milk or sometimes half milk half cream
• 1 tsp of lemon juice
• fresh grated pepper
• grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a medium sized bowl, beat eggs and milk together.  Add  spinach, feta cheese, lemon juice and some pepper to taste.  Pour mixture into the pie crust.  Dust the top with Parmesan cheese. Place on bottom rack of oven (as low as possible)  and bake for 45 minutes.  Cool 10 minutes before serving. 

Have a fun day!
