spinach & feta pie-type
Saturday, March 29, 2008
- 20 oz fresh spinach or 16 oz cooked spinach
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 5 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese (ours was fat free)
- 2 or 3 eggs, lightly beaten (depending on if you like a quiche-taste or not)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 13 sheets fillo dough
- Pam spray or butter/oil
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Chop spinach, cook down in pan. Drain and pat dry.
- In a medium bowl, mix everything in the middle section above. When spinach is dry, add in.
- Spray bottom of 8×8 glass pan with Pam (or coat with butter or oil). Layer 4 sheets of fillo, spraying each sheet in between. Tear off the overhanging pieces and pile them in the middle (!).
- Spread half of spinach mixture in the pan. Since I don’t like eggs that much, we avoided spooning too much of the egg solution that had not already soaked into the rest of the mixture.
- Repeat layering, with 4 more sheets of fillo dough. Spray in between each sheet.
- Spread the remaining spinach mixture.
- Repeat layering with the last 5 sheets of dough. Adam piled on all of the extra dough on top of the top layer, then spraying it.
- Bake for 50 minutes, until the top is brown and crispy.
- Let sit and cool for 15 minutes.
