Looking for an easy brunch idea? These ham & spinach pies are not only easy to make, but a great additional to any brunch whether it be as an appetizer or as the main dish.
The other great thing about these pies is that you can make them entirely your own, add mushrooms, bacon, eggs, the options are limitless when it comes to these pies.
I think they are best right out of the oven, of course be careful not to burn your mouth because that cheese is hot, but oh so delicious!!
