Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the spinach in batches for about 2 minutes until wilted. Rinse under cold water, squeeze out moisture, and chop.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté diced onions for 5-7 minutes until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- In a bowl, mix chopped spinach, sautéed onions and garlic, ricotta, parmesan, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Add one egg and mix until creamy.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Roll out one sheet of puff pastry into a 14-inch circle and place it in an 8-inch springform pan.
- Spoon the spinach mixture into the pastry-lined pan and create five holes. Crack 5 uncooked eggs into these holes.
- Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry into a 9-inch circle. Cover the pie, crimp edges, and cut slits for steam.
- Whisk one egg with water and brush over the top pastry layer.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes until the crust is golden brown and a knife comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 30-45 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.

Notes
Ensure to remove excess moisture from the cooked spinach for better texture. Use quality cheese for rich flavor.
