Ricotta, Spinach and Caramelised onion Pie
Onion - caramelised onion, look up my older post.
Caramelised onions are so versatile. Can be added to a verity of dishes. This non-baked pie is one of them.
Combination of cheese and caramelised onion is excellent. Gruyere and Goat cheese is excellent for this pie dish. I use ricotta cheese for a lighter version, but the taste is so delicious
It is a non-baked pie, cook it over the stove using a heavy based frying pan.

Wow Mum, it looks beautiful! We'd have to make a much smaller pie as I don't have such a lovely big pan! Thanks for thinking of us when you made this post. We'll try it out this summer.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try calling you tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon, your time. I'll see how the work schedule goes.
