FILO SPINACH (OR SILVERBEET) PIE (serves 4)
1 bunch spinach or silverbeet, finely sliced
1 large onion, chopped
3 eggs
125 gms cottage cheese (half a 250gm pottle)
25 to 50 gms feta cheese crumbled
50 gms cheddar cheese, grated
1 tsp dried dill or 1/2 tsp dill seeds
1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
a LITTLE salt (feta can be salty) & good grind of black pepper
handful of parsely, chopped
4 sheets filo pastry
4 tsp butter or oil for brushing (or cooking oil spray)

Steam spinach and onion for about 5 mins
Beat eggs, add cottage cheese, feta & cheddar cheese
Add steamed onion & spinach, dill, nutmeg, s & p and parsley
Pour into ovenproof dish (I use 20cms square pan for four servings)
Layer the filo sheets on top of the mix, lightly brushing each with oil or butter, turning over excess flaps at edges
Sprinkle with sesame seeds
Bake at 180*C for 30-40 mins. Can cover dish with foil for last ten minutes to stop filo burning

Variation: Leeks & blue cheese, instead of onion & feta

I made a lovely filo pie the other evening, just roasted some pumpkin, red onion,mushrooms,peppers, carrots, garlic,( or what ever you have on hand) seasoned with salt & pepper and a little moroccan spices. to this when cooled added 250 g cottage cheese some defrosted, squeezed dry spinach and some feta cheese. I buttered some filo pastry and layered it into a spring form tin and then topped with extra filo pastry for the top of pie. A big hit with the family

This pie would be very nice with a homemade tomato sauce or, if feeling lazy, a pasta sauce out of a jar. Serve it with a whole bunch of fresh steamed vegetables, and if you must have another starch, (filo is one) boiled rice to round it out and make a complete meal.

I don't know if you would want meat with that.
