Layered pie with spinach and asparagus is an elegant and harmonious dish that combines tender greens and creamy texture. This recipe is inspired by European traditions of making layered pies, using fresh herbs and airy dough. Asparagus adds a refined note, while spinach provides richness and softness of flavor. The pie is perfect for festive gatherings as well as cozy family dinners. Thanks to the flaky pastry, it acquires a crispy crust that contrasts with the juicy filling.
