A delicious low-carb Keto Crustless Mushroom Spinach Pie packed with flavor and nutrients, perfect for a healthy meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 10 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 16 ounces cottage cheese (4% fat)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Squeeze out as much water as possible from the thawed spinach and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the drained spinach along with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Cook until heated through, then drain the mixture in a colander to remove excess moisture.
- Grease a 9-inch pie plate and sprinkle grated parmesan cheese around the bottom and sides to coat.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and cottage cheese until well combined.
- Fold in the spinach and mushroom mixture into the egg mixture.
- Pour the combined mixture into the prepared pie dish and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
- Place the pie dish on a baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are golden brown.
- Turn off the oven and let the pie sit in the oven for an additional 10 minutes.
- Allow the pie to cool for 10 more minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider sautéing some chopped onions or bell peppers along with the mushrooms.
- You can substitute the cottage cheese with ricotta for a creamier texture, or use different cheeses like feta for a tangy twist.
