1390.0. "Spinach Pizza Filling???" by BRAT::PARSHLEY () Fri Sep 23 1988 14:27

    Would anyone happen to know the recipe for a Spinach Pizza filling?
    I know I could "wing it" as I usually do when I cook. But I was
    curious to know some second opinions, just to assure that I was
    close in my assumptions.
    
    My Guess would be;
    
    Spinach (of course cooked)
    Olive Oil
    Feta Cheese
    Oregano
    
    So, folks am I warm????
    
    
    Thanks,

1390.1Try spinach pie filling...POETS::YEADONTue Oct 18 1988 15:138
    I'd like this recipe too but, instead what I have done is too take
    spinach and scallions and chop them up, saute a few minutes with
    butter then add lots of feta cheese, one egg, and a little cottage
    cheese.  Try to keep the mixture pretty dry. Throw in some garlic
    powder.  I play around with it.  I'm basically using a spinach pie,
    spanikopeta recipe from this file.  I think it was Macedonian Spinach
    Pie from a scratch recipe.  I make regular pizza with this and its
    great!  Hope it works as well for you.... Heidi
