cheddar cheese – Ruth E. Hendricks

Apple pie with a slice of sharp cheddar cheese?

Yes or no?

Here’s an article about this polarizing combination

Most popular in New England these days. Not in the South

“Cheese, specifically sharp cheddar, has been served with apple pie in the U.S. as early as the 1800s. But the combination was likely born in England in the 17^th century; a tradition of using dairy-based sauces in pies evolved into an affinity for topping pie with cheese instead”

Perhaps you’re an a la mode pie eater with a warm slice and vanilla ice cream.

Or an abstainer.

A rather large slab of cheese. Faor the photo.

This recipe is from a woman named Becky in 1980. It has been a family favorite since then. Somewhere I have the original recipe card.

Spinach Pie

Butter a 9″ glass pie plate. Preheat oven to 325 degrees

In a large bowl mix together:

2 10 oz packages Frozen Chopped Spinach, thawed, drained and squeeze out as much water as possible

4 Eggs

1 16 ounce container Cottage Cheese, (I like the small curd)

2 Cups of shredded Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese ( I have added a bit of shredded Gruyere or fresh Parmesan on occasion)

Salt and Pepper to taste. The cheese is salty to me so I don’t add much salt.

Pour into the buttered pie plate. Bake for 45 minutes or until knife in center comes out clean.

Let rest a bit before slicing so the wedge holds shape nicely.
