"Like any classic spinach filo pastry pie, it is great, especially when served with ayran"

Ingredients

  • spinach - 1.1 lb (500 g)
  • parsley - 0.7 oz (20 g)
  • chives - 0.35 oz (10 g) or spring onions, only the green part
  • fine filo pastry sheets - 6 pcs.

measures

How to make

Boil the washed and cleaned spinach leaves for 3 minutes in boiling water. Strain them well.

Chop the parsley and spring onions and mix them with spinach, then add the grated white cheese and as much black pepper as you like. If necessary, add a little salt. Finally, add the lightly beaten eggs and stir.

Melt the butter and spread a little of it on a baking pan with a diameter of 80°F (24 cm). You can also cover it with baking paper.

Lay one filo pastry sheet and allow the 4 edges come out and stick out of the baking pan. Spread a lot of melted butter and put a second and third filo pastry sheet (crosswise) and grease them with butter and spread most of the filling on them.

Lay the other three filo pastry sheets on top on the same principle. Distribute the rest of the filling.

Fold the protruding edges inwards and grease the filo pastry pie with the remaining butter.

Bake the spinach filo pastry pie in a preheated oven at 360°F (180 degrees) until it aquires a golden brown color.

Enjoy your meal!
