Spinach, Rice and Feta Pie
2 tsps margarine
3/4 cup chopped onion
2 tsps all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1-1/2 cups 1% low-fat milk
2 cups cooked long-grain rice
3/4 cup (3-oz.) crumbled feta cheese
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 large egg whites
1 (10-oz.) package frozen, chopped spinach, thawed, drained and
squeezed dry
Olive oil flavored cooking spray
2 Tbls grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 400. Melt margarine in large saucepan over
medium heat. Add chopped onion, and saute 3 minutes. Stir in flour,
salt, and pepper. Gradually add milk, stirring with a whisk until
well blended. Bring mixture to a simmer, and cook 1 minute or until
slightly thick, stirring constantly. Remove saucepan from heat, and
stir in the cooked rice, crumbled feta cheese, egg, egg whites, and
spinach.
Pour mixture into a 9-inch pie plate coated with cooking
spray. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over pie. Bake pie at 400 for 35
minutes or until set. Broil 2 minutes or until pie is golden brown.
Makes 6 servings.
(Note from me, you may want to cover with foil for about half baking time to
keep from drying out.)
