Ingredients
- Fresh or frozen spinach
- Mozzarella cheese
- Ricotta cheese
- Parmesan cheese
- Gorgonzola cheese
- Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- Crescent roll dough or puff pastry (optional)
- Fresh basil
- Oregano
- Garlic powder
- Salt
- Pepper
- Vegetable broth
- Egg (for egg wash)
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the spinach and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, and gorgonzola. Add the sautéed spinach, and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and herbs. Mix until well combined.
- If you’re using pizza dough, roll it out on a floured surface to fit your baking dish. Make sure to leave some overhang for folding over the top.
- Transfer the dough to a greased pie dish or oven-safe skillet. Spoon the cheese and spinach filling into the center, spreading it evenly. Fold the overhanging dough over the filling to create a rustic finish.
- For a golden crust, whisk an egg with a splash of water and brush it over the dough.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Once baked, let the pot pie cool for about 10 minutes. This will help the filling set a bit. Serve warm and enjoy!
