Here is the recipe!
Mum's Spinach Pie
Ingredients
1 pack of filo dough
500 mgs of Spinach
1 cup of tasty cheese (we used mozarella and mild cheddar)
1/2 an onion, chopped finely
2 cloves of garlic
2 tbps of butter
Pepper/salt to taste
Nutmeg to taste
- Heat butter in a pan and add the garlic, then onions until the onions are opaque
- Add the spinach until warmed through
- Take off the fire and mix in the cheese
- Add pepper/salt/nutmeg to taste
- Warm up the oven (following the directions on the filo pastry box) with an oven tray inside - this helps to keep the base of the pie warm.
- Following the instructions on the box, begin to layer the bottom layer of the filo dough into the pan
- Fill the base with the spinach mixure and layer filo dough on top
- Flute the edges (we didn't as our pan was too deep) and cut small vents to allow for steam
- Lightly brush either milk or beaten egg on top to make a nice crust
- Shove into the oven and bake as to the directions on the filo dough box (about 20 mins)

Looks yummy! Do you think the recipe would still work if I used soy cheese?
I think it would. I'm not sure what soy cheese is like (texture, etc). We used a block of cheddar cheese that we grated and then we got already grated mozarella. Next time I want a more nuttier cheese though.
ahh you guys are so cute!
ha! i just use puff pastry! you are so much fancier!
i just made it a month or so ago too. love love love it.
you look so good with a little weight on your face. :)
I thought puff pastry and filo dough is the same thing? The filo dough was SO finnicky so maybe I'll use puff pastry next time.
ps - as I was reading your comment about my extra weight, I smiled big as I was wolfing down a waffle soaked in syrup. (wink)
