This super simple pie has only eight ingredients and comes together in under 45 minutes. Serve as a main with a mixed green salad or as a side with some roasted chicken or pork tenderloin. The creamy spinach filling topped with ooey-gooey melted cheddar cheese is kid-friendly as well. Try serving this on your next brunch buffet. Make sure to thoroughly squeeze the water from the spinach so it is completely dry. This recipe is also easily doubled. We baked in a 9 by 13-inch baking dish, and cut into squares.
Ingredients
Fat free ricotta cheese
15 oz
Chopped frozen spinach

2
Combine the ricotta cheese, spinach, egg whites, cornstarch, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Scrape the filling into the pie plate. Spread the salsa over the top and out to the edges. Bake until the filling is set, and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle the pie evenly with the cheddar cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes longer. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting into 8 slices. Yields 1 slice per serving.
