800g Spinach
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Olive oil
200g Feta cheese
250g Halloumi cheese
3 Eggs
100g Walnuts
1 Nutmeg

1 tsp Sesame seeds
1 tsp dried oregano
50g Melted butter
250g Filo pastry
Here’s how
Pre heat a large non stick pan and add the oil, salt and spinach.
Place the lid on the pan to trap the heat in and cook for 5 minutes.
Once the spinach is cooked remove from the heat and place in a sieve over a bowl.
Press the spinach with the back of a spoon to push out all of the moisture, it is really important as it will help make sure your pie stays crispy.
Crumble the feta cheese into a bowl and grate the halloumi cheese in.
Add the eggs, walnuts and cooked spinach.
Stir in a few Nigella seeds, oregano and sesame.
Season with a little black pepper and freshly grated nutmeg.
Mix together to form the filling of your pie.
Un wrap the filo and brush each layer with a Little melted butter.
Lay the pastry into a deep pie dish making sure there is a good over hang of pastry as this is going to fold into the middle to make the top of the pie.
Once you have placed all the pastry into the dish add the pie filling making sure it is pushed into all the corners.
Fold the overhanging pastry into the middle to cover the filling and brush with the remaining melted butter.
Sprinkle over a few of the remaining nigella and sesame seeds along with a little oregano.
Bake in a pre heated oven for 20-30 minutes 170c or until golden and crisp.
