Surprisingly Edible

I am queen of invention in the kitchen. My basic rule for what works is if I know the ingredients and I like them separately, surely they will be great together - especially if there are eggs, cheese, and spinach. Or beans.

However, now I have refrigerator full of "inventions." Edible, yes. Interesting, yes. Delightful, not so much. The chocolate cookies turned out great. I had planned on baking oatmeal carrot cookies, but I couldn't find any oatmeal, which is strange since I use it for all baking (or not, since I use it all the time).

With no cookies on the horizon, I gathered the ingredients I had and went to work.

I crumbled the phyllo dough I found drying out in the freezer in the bottom of an oiled pan, then spritzed a bit more oil on top. I was saving that carrot raspberry pulp for the not happening cookies so added that to the thawed spinach. Beat three eggs with a splash of half and half. Toss in the spinach and pulp and some cheese.

Was this the best plan? No. But there it is. Add some seasoning, crumple phyllo on top, spritz with more EVOO and I sprinkled Parmesan cheese over the "crust". Don't do it!  Parmesan cheese gets dark and crusty. As a matter of fact, There are some better ways to combine these ingredients all the way around.

On the other hand, the pie was completely edible. Served with Greek yogurt it became almost delightful. Almost. Still, the point is, it is completely edible. YUM!

Now to sort out recipes for all those fermented green tomatoes. I may have gone overboard, just a bit.
