Today, a SUPER CHEESY STUFFED SPINACH SAVORY PIE. I absolutely didn’t feel like going out shopping and the only thing I could do was my usual art of “making do with what I have”. I had frozen spinach available and didn’t feel like sautéed spinach, so I checked the fridge and I had a leftover mozzarella and some eggs about to expire. I assure you that it turned out to be a really amazing savory pie, try it out.
