Spinach and Dill Pie Linzer Style: Gourmet Recipe

Ingredients:

2 sheets of puff pastry dough
1 egg, beaten
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves of garlic, minced
10 oz fresh spinach, chopped
1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup pine nuts
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Start by heating the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and mince garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onions are soft and lightly browned, for about 8-10 minutes.
Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the heat and let it cool down a bit.
In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, dill, pine nuts, and 1 beaten egg. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Grease a pie dish with some oil or butter. Place one sheet of puff pastry dough inside the pie dish, on the bottom and sides.
Spread the spinach mixture over the puff pastry dough. Add the ricotta cheese mixture on top of the spinach mixture, spreading it evenly.
Place the other sheet of puff pastry dough on top of the ricotta cheese mixture. Make a few slits on the top to let steam escape.
Brush the top of the pie with the remaining beaten egg.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Cut into slices and serve.
