Instructions
Gluten-Free Pie Crust
- Mix all the ingredients together with a fork.
- Grease and line a 24cm/ 9.5 inch pie/flan dish. I used a loose bottom tin, but this is not essential. If you do use a loose bottom dish, place it in the oven on a baking tray, just in case any liquid spills out.
- Place the pie crust mixture onto the lined dish. Place a piece of baking paper on top and smooth out the pie crust with the back of your hand or a glass tumbler to fill the pie dish. Remove the top baking paper. Doing it this way saves you from rolling out the pastry and cutting any excess off.
- Make holes all over the base with a fork. This will help the pie crust bake evenly and crispen.
- Bake at 180C/350F for 15 minutes. Remove from oven.
Keto Spinach Pie Filling
- Defrost the spinach and squeeze as much of the water out as you can. This is an important step, otherwise, you will end up with a soggy pie.
- Place the spinach and all other ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
- Mix gently, but do leave some cream cheese and feta lumps.
- Pour onto the cooked pie crust.
- Bake at 180C/350F for 40 minutes or until the centre is cooked.

Notes
Fresh Spinach - if using fresh spinach, remember to chop and wilt the spinach first before adding to the pie filling. You can either wilt the spinach in a frying pan for a few minutes whilst stirring, or in a microwaveable dish. Drain off any excess liquid.
