Spinach, feta & nut puff pastry pie

Ingredients

• 450g unwashed spinach
• 100g walnuts
• 100g mixed seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, etc.)
• 150g Greek-style salad cheese
• 2 puff pastry sheets
• 1 tbsp oregano
• 2 eggs
• Olive or rapeseed oil
• Salt
• Pepper

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Allow the pastry sheets to come to room temperature.

2. Wash and drain the spinach. In a large deep pan, add a drizzle of oil and add the spinach. Sweat the spinach down until just cooked, season generously with salt and pepper, place in a bowl and allow to cool. Once cool, grab small handfuls and squeeze gently to remove the excess water.

3. In a frying pan, on a moderate heat, dry toast the walnuts and a handful of mixed seeds. Season with salt and remove after 5 minutes.

4. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, layout one of the pastry sheets.

5. Add the spinach, leaving a 4-5cm border around the edges. Scatter the seeds and nuts, crumble over the salad cheese and then sprinkle with the oregano.

6. Next, separate the eggs, discarding the white and putting the yolks in a bowl. Lightly whisk the yolks. Using a pastry brush, apply the egg yolks to the pastry border. Add the second sheet of pastry to the top and press down to seal the sides, trim if necessary.

7. Brush the remaining egg yolk over the top and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden.
