• 500g spinach, wilted and squeezed BONE dry
• 200g feta, crumbled
• 1 onion and 4 spring onions, chopped
• a big handful of dill
• 2 eggs
• 270g pack filo pastry
• 80g melted butter or olive oil

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Squeeze the spinach until you are certain it is dry, then squeeze it again. Wet filling equals soggy pastry.
2. Mix the spinach, feta, onions, dill and eggs. Go easy on salt — feta brings plenty.
3. Brush a tin with butter and layer in 5 sheets of filo, brushing each one.
4. Spread the filling, then top with 5 more brushed sheets, tucking the edges down inside.
5. Score the top into portions BEFORE baking — cutting it afterwards shatters the layers.
6. Bake at 180°C for 40 min until deep gold. Cool 15 min so it sets enough to lift out.
