O.K this is a basic spinach pie recipe and you can find about 1000 of them online. I sort of followed this recipe from cooks.com but i omitted 1 egg, used green onions instead of white and replaced the spinach with swiss chard and added fresh oregano. It was a big hit and my 1 year old loved it! This was my first time working with phylo dough and it was kind of fun. I can see how you can use it in a number of different ways. We plan on making a onion tart, and a pot pie with a phylo top crust in the future. I served it with a fruit salad and it was a fresh summer dinner. GREEK SPINACH PIE | |
7-8 cups blanched spinach Chop spinach and dice onion. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large frying pan and sauté onions until soft. Add spinach, then cook over medium-high heat until all moisture is evaporated. Remove from heat. Melt remaining butter in a small pan. Beat eggs and stir in cheeses. Add spinach mixture; season with salt and pepper. Gently spread the filo dough out flat and cover with a moistened towel so that the separate sheets don't dry out. Butter a 15x10-inch baking pan 2-inch deep. Place a sheet of dough on the bottom of the pan and brush lightly with melted butter. Continue layering sheets of dough, buttering each until there are 10 sheets. Spread spinach mixture evenly on top and stack with another 10 sheets, buttering them as before. Bake in a preheated oven 375°F for 15 minutes; reduce to 350°F for an additional 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes before slicing. |
A quite different from my version of the GREEK SPINACH PIE but as delicious and healthy!

From the ancient Greeks and Romans to current day writers and professors, the debate about happiness continues.
