My thoughts:

In keeping alongside my vacation pie theme, #seasonofpie, I acquaint this hearty greens pie. It is a fleck nontraditional only listen me out, it is perfect for the wintertime holidays. Chard too mustard greens are beautiful too abundant correct now; it tin sack endure served at room temperature (perfect for potluck); it tin sack purpose every bit a side dish or a vegetarian main; anything made inwards a springform pan looks impressive; it is a wonderful option to many of the dodgier vegetable casseroles people trot out this fourth dimension of year. I loved it. The salty feta, the earthy za'atar too the slightly bitter greens. Perfection.
