Method
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (about 400°F).
- Roll out your pie crust and press it gently into a tart pan. Prick holes in the bottom with a fork and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add three-quarters of the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2–3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside to cool.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Stir in the ricotta, milk, parmesan, and cooled spinach. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Pour the filling into the chilled crust and arrange the remaining spinach on top, pressing gently.
- Bake for about 40 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.

Notes
Feel free to swap fresh spinach for frozen spinach; just thaw and drain it well. For a tangier flavor, use goat cheese instead of ricotta. Chilling the crust is essential to prevent shrinkage during baking. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days, and reheated in the oven for best results. Garnish each slice with fresh herbs for an elegant touch before serving. Enjoy experimenting with different veggies or cheeses to make it your own!
