Spinach & Cheese Slice
1 x 250 gram packet of frozen spinach, defrosted with all moisture squeezed out
1 brown onion, peeled and finely diced
250 grams of feta cheese, crumbled
125 grams of grated tasty cheese
Pepper to taste
5 eggs, beaten
6 sheets of packaged filo pastry
2 tablespoons of margarine / butter
1 x rectangular baking dish measuring approximately 23cm x 28cm
(a lamington tray would be ideal) - greased (olive oil spray is good)
Combine spinach and onion in a bowl and stand for one hour
then drain off any excess liquid
Add feta and grated cheeses, mix well
Melt the margarine / butter in the microwave or on the stove
As you use each sheet of filo pastry, gently fold it to form a rough rectangle
so it fits the baking tray you're using
If you're going to get the pastry ready first, fold each sheet,
cover with greaseproof or baking paper then a damp cloth and stand until required
Place a piece of folded pastry into your greased baking dish
then brush with melted margarine / butter
Repeat this process with two more sheets of folded pastry,
brushing melted margarine / butter between each sheet
Press the spinach and cheese mixture firmly onto the pastry, spreading out evenly
Pour the beaten eggs evenly across the spinach and cheese mixture
Cover with the remaining three sheets of folded pastry,
brushing between each layer with melted margarine / butter
Brush the top with melted margarine / butter
Cut the slice into desired sized portions
Bake in a moderate oven for approximately 45 minutes or until the top is light golden brown
