1.Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 23cm springform pan.
2.Heat 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.
3.Beat 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.

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.

6.Bake pie for 45 minutes or until golden. Cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a board. Serve cut into wedges.
