Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Heat butter in a large oven-safe skillet over high heat. Toss spinach in hot butter until wilted, about 30 seconds. Drain spinach well and squeeze it as dry as possible. Transfer to a cutting board and chop.
Step 3
Beat eggs in a bowl with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until thoroughly combined.
Step 4
Place bacon in the same skillet used to cook spinach and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until bacon has rendered its fat and is almost crisp, 5 to 8 minutes. Use a paper towel held in a tongs to remove excess bacon grease. Reduce heat to medium; saute onion with bacon and a pinch of salt until onion is translucent, about 5 more minutes.
Step 5
Saute chopped spinach with bacon and onion until spinach is hot; pour in eggs. Use a wooden spoon to distribute spinach evenly throughout the eggs. Sprinkle feta cheese over mixture.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until eggs are set, 10 to 15 minutes. Top may still be a little wet.
Step 7
Turn on oven's broiler. Broil pie until top is lightly golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
