Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (450 g) packet frozen spinach, thawed and chopped
1 sheet ready-rolled shortcrust pastry
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
150 g halloumi cheese, grated (see note)
120 g feta, crumbled
1 tablespoon fresh oregano
2 eggs
1/4 cup cream
lemon wedge, to serve

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to moderately hot 200oC (400oF).
  • Squeeze the excess liquid from the spinach.
  • Place the pastry sheet on a baking tray and spread the spinach in the middle, leaving a 3cm (1 1/4 inch) border.
  • Sprinkle the garlic over the spinach and pile the haloumi and feta on top.
  • Sprinkle with oregano and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Cut a short slit into each corner of the pastry sheet, then tuck each side of the pastry over to form a border around the filling.
  • Lightly beat the eggs with the cream and carefully pour the egg mixture over the spinach filling.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and the filling is set.
  • Cut into four portions and serve with lemon wedges and a green salad.
  • Note: If haloumi cheese is not available use all feta instead.

This pie was a disappointment. The filling was bland and the crust was tough.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I used sunflower seeds in the filling instead of pine nuts.

This recipe is a bit too complicated for me. I prefer simpler recipes.

I made this pie for my Greek grandmother and she loved it. She said it reminded her of the pies she used to make when she was a child.

This pie is a great way to use up leftover spinach.

I'm a vegetarian and I made this pie without the feta cheese. It was still delicious.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pie turned out soggy. I think I might have added too much liquid to the filling.

I added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the filling and it gave the pie an extra layer of flavor.

I used a store-bought phyllo dough and it turned out great. The pie was flaky and golden brown.

I'm not a big fan of spinach, but this pie changed my mind. The flavors were so well-balanced, and the crust was perfectly crispy.

This rustic Greek pie was a delightful journey into the flavors of the Mediterranean. The combination of spinach, feta, and herbs created a symphony of tastes that left me craving more.
