Spinach and Cream Cheese Pie

Spinach and cream cheese pie is a true embodiment of tenderness and harmony of flavors. Its roots go back to European traditions, where the combination of greens and cheese is valued for its sophistication. The crispy puff pastry gently envelops the juicy filling of spinach and cream cheese, creating a perfect balance between lightness and richness. Semolina adds tenderness to the texture, while eggs bind the components together. This pie is ideal for cozy family dinners or light snacks. It can be served warm or chilled, enjoying its creamy structure and soft spinach flavor. A great choice for lovers of refined European cuisine!
