Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Cook the onions in a large knob of butter until soft and turning golden. Add the garlic and cook for a couple of minutes. Add the spinach in batches and cook until wilted. Cool, then tip into a bowl (leaving behind any excess liquid from the spinach) and mix in the nutmeg, feta, eggs and season.
  2. Melt 30g more butter, and butter a non-stick springform cake tin, about 20-22cm. Put the first sheet of filo in the tin and brush with butter, letting the excess hang over the sides. Keep going with the rest of the sheets, turning a little before adding each additional pastry sheet and brushing all over with butter. When all the pastry is used up, tip in the filling and fold over the excess pastry to cover. Butter the top then bake in the oven for about 20-30 minutes until the filo is crisp and golden. Leave for 5 minutes before turning out and cutting into wedges to serve.

    Tried this before for my vegetarian friends and they loved it... including all the carnivores who tested a slice...

    I made this with added chorizo and chicken. I dry fried the chorizo and diced chicken and added it to the pie mix. Also I baked it twice as it wasnt as crispy first time round. Lush and all of my friends loved it

    Being a spinach fan, I really enjoyed this. Husband being a meat fan, didn't like it much. This needs to be seasoned really well to get flavour and don't stint on the nutmeg.

    An absolute corker of a pie!! My vegetable shy kids loved it and so did my carnivorous husband. Easy to make - v cheap as we have tonnes of spinach in the garden and really really tasty :-)

    I have made this recipe 3 times, twice as the vegetarian recipe once with added toasted pine nuts and olives and once with added Pancetta. It's always received really well and I will be making it again.

    Was great for a lunch or starter. Tasted real good, but next time I want to try it with artichokes and parmesan.

    Delicious and very easy to do. After the first time I did it, I went to buy the little brush to butter the filo pastry, because I'll definetly do this pie again and again.

    I used this recipe to make triangular filo parcels, rather than a pie. This worked beautifully when brushed with egg so they came out golden and served with grilled capsicum, red onion, cherry tomatoes and courgette. I will definitely be making these again for summer!

    Turned out absolutely fabulous, tasted great and wasn't hard to do. Has given me some interesting ideas for additional ingredients and fillings, but as the recipe stands, perfect for lunch with a big green salad.

    This came out nicely. If I do it again I think I will use more pastry and add some pine nuts. I served with sweet potato wedges, roasted red pepper and vine tomatoes and they went well together.

    Hi, I'm going to try this this evening, practice run for a girlie lunch next week, can anyone let me know when this should be frozen, I assume you make the pie up and freeze before cooking, is this correct? If yes, can it then be cooked from frozen or would it need to be defrosted? I've noticed that a couple of people have asked this question, so if anyone has any idea I'm sure you'll be helping out a few people...thanks.
