1 packet Frozen Spinach

3 or 4 Chopped Spring Onions

5 large Eggs, beaten lightly.

Pinch Nutmeg

Salt and Pepper

1 packet Filo pastry

Butter, melted or olive oil

Put spinach in a large pot , on the stove, with a tiny bit of water in the bottom. Put a lid on and wilt for a couple of minutes maximum.

Put spinach in a bowl, without any liquid, and chop coarsely. Add defrosted frozen spinach,

spring onions, dill, mint, feta and eggs.

Season with salt and pepper and nutmeg.

Grease a pie dish with a reasonable depth (at least 2cm).

Layer about 6-8 sheets of filo pastry on the base, letting excess hang over the sides. Between every 2 sheets, paint with butter or oil.
