SIMPLE SPINACH PIE  

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*  

INGREDIENTS:  
Canola cooking oil spray  
3 packages (10 oz. each) frozen spinach  
1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil  
2 large egg whites at room temperature  
1/4 cup (1 oz.) crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese  
1/4 cup all-purpose flour  
3/4 tsp. salt, or to taste  
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper  
1/4 cup reduced-sodium, fat-free chicken broth  
1/4 cup chopped dill (4 tsp. crumbled dried)  

DIRECTIONS:  
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat an 8-inch spring-form  
pan with spray. Set aside. Cook spinach according to  
package directions. When cool enough to handle, squeeze  
spinach out to remove most of the water. Coarsely chop  
spinach. Transfer to a bowl and toss with olive oil. In  
medium bowl, whisk egg whites until foamy. Mix in feta  
cheese, flour, salt and pepper to make a sticky dough.  
Stir in chicken broth and dill. Add spinach and mix well  
to combine. Spread mixture in prepared pan into an even  
layer. Bake 15 minutes, until set. Cool in pan. Release  
spring-lock and carefully remove sides of pan. Cut into  
8 slices. With wide metal spatula, transfer slices to  
serving plate, arranging them in a circular pattern,  
pointed ends facing inward. Serve warm or at room  
temperature.
