My Almond Flour Pie Crust and Zucchini Crust Tomato Spinach Feta Pie are joining forces here today to make this super simple and insanely delicious Spinach and Feta Pie. This pie is:
✔️Low carb thanks to the almond flour crust
✔️Easy to make with only 6 ingredients total
✔️Prepped and ready to be enjoyed in under an hour
✔️More delicious after every bites!
So let’s get to it!
The Crust
The crust here is based off of my original Almond Flour Pie Crust. Though the original recipe does include egg and dairy free options we’re just going to use butter and eggs in the crust since the filling is essentially made up of dairy and eggs as well.
Making the dough is dead easy. Simply whisk together the flour and salt before stirring in some melted butter. Once the butter has been incorporated add the egg and mix until a soft dough forms. You should be able press the dough together to form a ball.
When you’re ready, transfer the dough to a grease pie or tart pan. I recommend using a tart/pie plate with a loose bottom. This will make it easy for you to remove and slice the pie later without worrying about the crust breaking.
Press the dough into the bottom and sides of the pan and that’s it. Set the crust aside while you prep the filling as you will bake everything at once.
The Filling
Moving on to the filling – this is even easier to prep as it’s made up of only three ingredients: eggs, spinach and feta.
Start out by wilting the spinach. Just load up a large, non stick skillet with your spinach, cover and let wilt on a medium-low heat. It should only take a minute or two for your spinach mountain to reduce down to the size of a fist.
While the spinach is doing its thing, move on to the eggs and feta. Quickly whisk together your eggs before mixing in the crumbled feta. Not much to it. Once you’re ready, stir in the wilted spinach to combine and then pour into the prepared almond flour crust. Spread the filling evenly over to crust and then pop your pie in the oven for about 30 minutes to bake and set.
When the filling no longer jiggles and the top of the pie and crust have turned gold you’re done. Remove the pie from the oven and let cool about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
And that’s it!
If you’re feeling adventurous I encourage you to play around with the filling. I really love this recipe as is and don’t think it needs much, but there are so many ways you can make it your own. Try adding mushrooms, fresh dill, garlic, sautéed onion – whatever! I like throwing in chopped up sun dried tomatoes and pine nuts when I have them in. If you do change it up a bit – let me know how it goes!
Enjoy!
Spinach Feta Pie with an Almond Flour Crust
A simple, Greek inspired Spinach Feta Pie made with an almond flour crust - both the filling and crust are easy to make, made with only 6 ingredients altogether. You can serve this pie as a main meal or enjoy the leftovers for breakfast or brunch at a later time. | Gluten Free + Grain Free + Low Carb
Ingredients
Crust
- 2 1/2 cups almond flour (240 g)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp (42 g) melted butter
- 1 egg
Filling
- 3 eggs
- 7 oz (200 g) feta, crumbled
- 10 oz fresh or frozen spinach
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F/190°C. Lightly grease a 9 inch loose bottom pie/tart pan. Set it aside.
- Add the almond flour and salt to a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
- Stir in the butter. Mix until you get a soft, sandy-like texture. I find it easy just using my hands here.
- Add the egg and mix until a soft dough comes together.
- Transfer the dough to a 9 inch pie plate. Use your hands to press the dough into the pie dish to form your crust. The dough may feel a little oily at this point.
Crust
Filling
1. Add the spinach to large non stick skillet over a medium heat. Cover and let the spinach wilt, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool a few minutes.
2. Whisk the eggs in a medium sized bowl. Stir in the crumbled feta
3. Mix the spinach into the egg-feta mixture.
4. Pour the filling over the crust - spread so it bakes evenly. Place in the oven and bake for 30-32 minutes. Check the pie after 20 minutes. If the crust is browning too quickly, cover the top with foil.
5. Remove from oven, let cool for 5 minutes and then slice and serve.
Notes
- Use frozen spinach instead of fresh: Defrost the spinach and squeeze out the excess water before mixing it into the feta + egg mixture.
- Freeze for later: Leftovers can be wrapped up tightly and frozen for up to 3 months. If you want to freeze the whole pie to enjoy at a later time, bake the pie first and let it cool completely before wrapping it up tightly. Let it thaw in the fridge overnight before heating it up again.

I am making this pie for my daughters bridal shower, one of the guest is gluten free due to health reasons. The Maine dish is Spanakopita aka spinach pie..I was thrilled to find this recipe so she feels included.
Sarah Nevins says
Hi Maria – I am genuinely so happy to hear that this recipe could be helpful! I’m sure your guest will be so grateful to you for thinking of them 🙂
Hope it all goes well and congrats to you and your daughter – how exciting!

I love this recipe! Exactly what I’ve been looking for – although a did a make a few changes because I didn’t have enough spinach on hand. I used half the amount of spinach and I sauteed 3 leeks (sliced) with some chopped garlic and then I added a handful of chopped roasted red peppers. Absolutely delish! I also use sheep’s milk feta that comes packed in oil as it’s creamier, perfect when whipped into the eggs. I’ll definitely be making this again, the almond flour crust came out perfectly!
Sarah Nevins says
Ooh that sounds lovely! Thank you so much for taking the time to come back and let me know what you thought of this – I’m so thrilled you enjoyed it 🙂
cherie says
oh my gosh! This is sooo good, so simple and delicious ! I was so worried it wasn’t going to work out but it is perfect..
Sarah Nevins says
Yay! So glad to hear you enjoyed it 🙂 Thanks so much for taking the time to come back to let me know what you thought!
Peter says
Hi, can you reheat this in the oven?
Sarah Nevins says
Yes! I recommend reheating it at 350F/180C for about 20-25 minutes until heated through. Make sure you reheat it with foil covering the top so that the crust doesn’t brown too much and burn in the process.

Loved this!! Thank you
Sarah Nevins says
Thanks Ellie!
Pauline Morrison says
You don’t explain how to make the almond crust?
Sarah Nevins says
Whoops! I recently fixed a typo in the recipe and I think I somehow deleted that whole section – thanks for pointing it out to me! It’s included now 🙂

Hi,
I like your website and your recipe, but I just wanted to say that there is way too much going on on the page (pop-ups, video, animation, adds, sidebars, etc). It was hard to even scroll down the page (and I am using a newer laptop) let alone get to the recipe. Maybe you might want to consider simplifying it?
Sarah Nevins says
Hi there! Thank you for your comment (seriously!). I have been meaning to tweak the amount of ads/popups on my site for awhile, but I am unfortunately not a very tech savvy person at all so I have just been putting it off. You’ve just reminded me to move this up my list of priorities because the last thing I want is a website that people can’t actually use.

Bonjour Sarah,
peut-ont remplacer la farine d’amande par de la poudre d’amande.
j’adore vos recettes.
Sarah Nevins says
Hi Ava – that should work! Hope you enjoy the recipe 🙂
