Ingredients
- 6 medium eggs, at room temperature
- 100g ricotta cheese
- 300g feta cheese, broken up with a fork
- ½ tsp fresh marjoram
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- 2-4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 300g bagged, washed spinach
- 1x 200g pack of filo pastry
- olive oil
- sea salt and cracked black pepper
- paprika
Method
- Pre-heat your oven to 200°C gas 6.
- Gently whisk the eggs and ricotta, then add the feta and bring together with a fork.
- Add the marjoram and oregano and black pepper and mix well again.
- Place a wok on the stove and add 2 tbsp olive oil then add the spinach in small batches and cook down until all the spinach is wilts.
- Place into a colander and gently press out any excess moisture. The cool slightly.
- Once cooled add to the egg mixture and mix well, taste and add salt and pepper if needed, remembering that Feta is quite salty.
- Line a 23cm frying pan with baking parchment, and cut to fit allowing 2-3cm overlap over the edge of the pan.
- Oil well and then lay over a sheet of filo leaving the edges hanging well over the edge.
- Repeat with a further two layers and oil well in between.
- Spoon in the egg and spinach mixture and spread out evenly.
- Carefully fold over the filo to cover the egg mix. You may need to add a scrunched up sheet or two extra in the centre.
- Oil the top liberally and sprinkle with sea salt, cracked black pepper and paprika (not smoked)
- Pop the pan into the pre heated oven and cook for 25-35 minutes, or until the egg mix is lightly cooked, but not souffled. The top will be nicely browned and crisp.
- Once cooked remove the pan from the oven and cool for 15 minutes so the egg sets nicely.
- Then lift out of the pan using the greaseproof.
- Cut and serve with sliced cucumber, fresh dill and thick yogurt salad.
