Ingredients

4 x 160g bags Fresh tastes Washed Baby Spinach

1 onion, chopped

1 tsp olive oil

400g feta, crumbled

25g pine nuts, toasted

2 tsp dried oregano

2 tbsp chopped dill

Pinch ground nutmeg (optional)

2 eggs, lightly beaten

6 sheets ready-made filo pastry, each cut in half

40g butter, melted

Method

1
Pre-heat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Cook the spinach in batches in a large frying pan over a medium heat, stirring frequently, until wilted. Tip into a large sieve over a bowl and press with the back of a spoon to get rid of excess water.
2
Wipe out the pan and cook the onion in the oil for 3-4 minutes, stirring often. Mix into the spinach with the feta, pine nuts, oregano, dill, nutmeg (if using) and eggs. Transfer to a pie dish.
3
Brush the sheets of filo with the melted butter and loosely crumple with your hand. Put on top of the pie filling to cover.
4
Bake for 30-35 minutes.
