Since it was only a couple of days before I was going to bake it, I could have just refrigerated it, but I happened to have more room in the freezer right then. :-) I imagine you could keep it frozen for a few weeks, anyway, which might come in handy for the holidays.CyberSishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12785005260630246224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-75652826494812095362015-09-25T22:41:58.470-04:002015-09-25T22:41:58.470-04:00Hi CyberSis,

I forgot to ask if you pre-baked it before freezing or was it raw when you froze it? <br /><br />Sounds like a nice greens mic though!

I would definitely make it in advance again. Since I'd used a glass Pyrex pie plate and didn't want to risk cracking it I decided to bring it to room temp before baking. I'd forgotten that, instead of spinach, I'd picked up a 16-oz box of Taylor Farms "Organic Power Greens--Kale Medley" from Sam's Club to try. It contains spinach, kale, chard (all baby size) and a small amount of shredded carrot. It made a very yummy pie. Spinach is probably still my all-time favorite, though ... I'm a fan of ol' Popeye, too! :-) CyberSishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12785005260630246224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-33952885816663526062015-09-24T19:23:35.303-04:002015-09-24T19:23:35.303-04:00Hi CyberSis,
Yes, obviously great minds DO think ...Hi CyberSis,<br /><br />Yes, obviously great minds DO think alike! I'm curious to hear how your frozen almond flour crust turns out! I'm assuming you will use it frozen and not thaw first? I agree with you about the stages. One of these days I'm going to go ahead and prepare the crust ahead and refrigerate it and even cook the spinach, onions, etc. beforehand and then just mix it with eggs and feta and pour it into the already made crust. <br /><br />It really was easy to simply press the dough flat in the bottom of the pan for this rectangular version and it didn't take as long to bake either, I'm guessing because it was thinner and more spread out than in a pie plate. This may end up being my new "go to" way to make this dish. Also, I like using the entire pound container of spinach and simply adding an extra egg and more feta if you choose is nice, too. I had it again for lunch today and will probably have it for dinner tonight as well. I may just wake up with "green eyes" tomorrow! Or...start sounds like Popeye! <br /><br />It has been cooler here the last couple of days but a little humid, not crisp. I'm keeping my fingers crossed our weather forecast of highs in the 60s Saturday holds up. We actually had a little rain late today and I think more tonight. Glad you are enjoying pleasant weather and I hope to be soon as well. :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-64912024667758156302015-09-24T02:55:25.288-04:002015-09-24T02:55:25.288-04:00Hi GGC,

Just yesterday I bought a box of spinach from Sam's Club and today I made the pie shell and put it in the freezer (unbaked) for later in the week. How's *that* for great minds thinking alike? :-) It'll be my first time using a frozen almond flour crust and I'm interested to see how it turns out. (Sometimes it works better for me to prepare a recipe in "stages" so I'll appreciate having the crust ready to go.)<br /><br />That being said, I like the rectangular shape *a lot* ... plus it seems it might be an easier way to do the crust. If I hadn't already prepped my pie shell I'd have made it that way this go 'round. I definitely plan to make it rectangular next time. Thanks for the idea! :-)<br /><br />Lovely weather is continuing around here. It's supposed to go at least through the middle of next week. We could use some rain, but it's been so incredibly pleasant lately that I don't want to think about that! CyberSishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12785005260630246224noreply@blogger.com
