Pillsbury Pie Crust

Ingredients

  • 1 box (14.1 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Pie Crusts (2 Count)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup diced white onion
  • 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (I used Monterrey Jack)
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of black pepper

Steps

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • 2
    Prepare two 6-cup aluminum muffin tins by squeezing together the outside corner of the four corner tins until they form a teardrop shape. (See photo as an example.)
  • 3
    Roll out one of the pie crusts, and use a knife to cut it into fourths. Press one of the pie crust pieces into one of the teardrop muffin tins, and then trim the edges so that an 1/8-inch of the crust borders the top of the tin. Press the edges down and score with a fork if desired.
  • 4
    Repeat with remaining tins and the remaining pie crust until 8 pie crusts are prepared.
  • 5
    Bake crusts in the oven for 5 minutes. Then remove.
  • 6
    Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft. Remove from heat and transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl.
  • 7
    Add the fresh spinach, eggs, cheese, salt, and pepper, and stir until combined. Spoon the mixture into the pre-baked pie crusts until they are filled.
  • 8
    Bake in preheated oven until eggs have set and the top is slightly browned, about 20-25 minutes. Remove and let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with the corners placed together, forming a four-leaf clover shape.
