Ingredients
- 1 large red onion, finely chopped
- 350 gram baby spinach leaves
- 5 eggs
- 350 gram jar marinated feta in oil
- 12 sheets filo pastry
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 125 gram butter
Method
- 1Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 23cm springform pan.
- 2Heat oil in a large frypan over high heat. Cook onion, stirring, for 3 minutes or until softened. Add spinach and cook, turning, for 4 minutes or until leaves are just wilted. Season and cool slightly.
- 3Beat eggs in a medium bowl until combined. Stir into spinach mixture. Drain feta of excess oil and discard peppercorns. Add feta to spinach mixture, mashing with a fork.
- 4Melt butter in a small saucepan. Place 1 sheet of filo pastry on a clean work surface and lightly brush with some melted butter. Place another sheet on top. Repeat layering with 2 more filo sheets. Ease filo stack into springform pan, allowing edges to overhang. Repeat brushing and layering with another 4 filo sheets. Place the second filo stack into cake pan in the opposite direction, allowing edges to overhang.
- 5Carefully pour spinach mixture into the springform pan. Brush any overhanging filo with butter and neatly fold in to enclose. Brush and layer the remaining 4 filo sheets with melted butter. Scrunch the stack and place on top of the pie.
- 6Bake pie for 45 minutes or until golden. Cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a board. Serve cut into wedges.
