Spinach Pie

16oz frozen spinach- thaw & squeeze out excess water
5 eggs
2lb part-skim ricotta
salt and pepper to taste
4oz feta cheese, crumbled
grape tomatoes, cut in half

In a large bowl mix spinach, eggs, ricotta and salt &pepper. Spread into a 13x9 pan (glass or metal). (I spray the pan with Pam before adding the ricotta/spinach mixture). Evenly spread feta over the top of the ricotta/spinach mixture. Evenly place grape tomato halves across the top of the feta. Bake at 325degrees for 1 hr to 1hr 15mins. The pie should be firm in the center and slightly beginning to brown around the edges.

This a great recipe to prepare ahead to use for lunches for the week. It pairs well with grilled chicken and a tossed green salad -or is great all by itself. It is light but filling. Also, I generally use more feta than the recipe calls for- sometimes almost double. Cuz everything's beta with feta!
