Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C and keep filo pastry covered with a damp cloth.
  • Fry the sliced onion in half of the olive oil for 5-6 minutes until soft.
  • Wilt the spinach in the remaining oil, then drain and cool in a colander.
  • Remove onions from the heat and allow to cool on a plate.
  • Layer five filo sheets on a baking tray, brushing each with melted butter.
  • Season cooled spinach with nutmeg, salt, pepper, sultanas, onions, and pine nuts.
  • Mix in crumbled feta and enough beaten egg to moisten the mixture without making it runny.
  • Spoon the mixture onto the pastry base, leaving a 4cm border.
  • Fold the pastry edges inward to partially enclose the filling.
  • Layer the remaining five filo sheets on top, brushing each with melted butter.
  • Score the top and bake for 45-50 minutes until golden-brown.
  • Serve the sliced pie with a rocket salad.
