Spinach Pie
- 2 lbs spinach
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 6 spring onions, chopped
- 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 34 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 5 eggs, lightly beaten
- 16 sheets phyllo pastry
- 13 cup olive oil
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon poppy seed
- Preheat the oven to hot 415*.
- Brush a 12x10-inch baking dish with oil.
- Wash the spinach thoroughly and shred finely.
- Place in a large pan with just the water clinging to the leaves, cover and cook over low heat for 2 minutes, or until just wilted.
- Cool, then wring the moisture from the spinach and spread out the strands.
- Heat the oil in a small pan and cook the spring onion for 3 minutes, or until soft.
- Transfer to a large bowl and add the spinach, cheeses and eggs.
- Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
- Place 1 sheet of pastry in the baking dish, letting the edges hang over.
- Cover the remaining pastry with a clean, damp tea towel to prevent it from drying out.
- Brush the pastry in the dish with some of the oil.
- Repeat the process with another 7 layers of pastry, brushing each sheet lightly with oil.
- Spread the filling over the pastry and fold in the edges.
- Brush each remaining sheet of pastry lightly with oil and place over the top of the pie.
- Tuck the edges of the pastry down the sides, brush the top with the egg and sprinkle with the poppy seeds.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden.
- Serve immediately.
