Keto Spinach Pie is a low carb, a keto-friendly recipe is filled with protein-packed cottage cheese and eggs, and protein-rich eggs!

Keto Spinach Pie was a staple in our home growing up. It’s how our mom got us to eat spinach — and we LOVED it.

What’s not to love about cheese on cheese with spinach?!

Does your family have a recipe that even when you have grown adults you request your mom to make??!

For my family that’s tuna noodle casserole, cheese and pasta in a pot, pimento macaroni and cheese, and spinach pie. 

This quick and easy low carb recipe idea is filled with thawed frozen chopped spinach, eggs, cottage cheese, and cheddar cheese.

You can make it in muffin cups, freezing for a quick morning breakfast for later.

Serve it for brunch on the weekends.

Or, serve it as a side dish to any meal prep grilled chicken recipe idea. 

HOW DO I MAKE KETO SPINACH PIE?

You’ll want to thaw out two boxes of frozen chopped spinach. Depending on the brand, they’re 9-10 ounces.

Do yourself a favor and buy the frozen kind. There is no need to purchase fresh spinach and wilt it down…

Thaw the boxes out (this is usually in the microwave for me!) and then use these steps to get the water out of it:

1. Place thawed spinach into a clean kitchen towel, do this near your sink! 
2. Pull the corners of the spinach up
3. Squeeze all the water you can out, over the sink.

Plop the spinach into a large mixing bowl.

Plop one 16 ounce container of cottage cheese into the bowl. 

Grate 2 cups of cheddar cheese into the bowl.

Crack 6 eggs into a bowl and whisk until combined.

Pour these into the big bowl and begin stirring everything together.

Grind some black pepper into the mix and sprinkle in some salt.

Bake at 375˚ for about 30 minutes.

WHAT CAN I SERVE WITH KETO SPINACH PIE?

• Easy Greek Grilled Chicken
• Ranch Grilled Chicken
• The Easiest Beef Tenderloin
• French Roasted Chicken

WHAT KITCHEN TOOLS DO I NEED TO MAKE KETO SPINACH PIE?

• Glass Bowl Set
• Whisk
• Baking Dish

I remember my mom taking this over and over to people who had moved, had a baby, someone died, etc. This is her go-to dish!

Depending on your family, you can adjust the recipe. My older brother begs for more cheese. I beg for more spinach. I don’t like eggs — so, I use as few as possible! 

Other keto spinach pie makers have substituted cottage cheese for cream cheese, added mushrooms or onions into it. Others have added all kinds of veggies to use up with they have in their fridge! Some people have used 12 eggs so the recipes will bake in a 9×13 baking dish, and you can serve twice as many.
