• 1 cup, chopped spinach
• 4 oz, cooked and crumbled bacon
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp flour
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tsp fresh thyme

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a 9-inch pie dish, melt butter and mix in flour until a crumbly dough forms. Press into the dish and bake for 10 minutes until golden.

3. Step 3: Pour batter into the crust and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is set and the edges are golden.
4. Step 4: Let cool slightly before slicing. Serve with a side of pickled jalapeños for a Texas twist.
