K’s spinach pie

Ingredients

• 1 bunch Silverbeet
• 1 Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, chopped
• 2 Bacon rashers, chopped
• 155 grams Feta cheese, crumbled
• 250 grams Cottage cheese
• 2 tbsps Parsley, chopped
• Salt and pepper
• 4 Eggs
• 6 Sheets filo pastry

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 180*.
2. Wash silverbeet, trim stalks and chop leaves roughly.  Cook in the microwave in two batches for two minutes each, or steam on the stove until tender.
3. Place in a colander to cool.  Once cool squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible with your hands.
4. Cook onion, garlic and bacon in the microwave for 2 minutes (obviously you can do this in a frypan if you prefer).
5. Combine the silverbeet, onion mixture and all remaining ingredients, other than the pastry, in a bowl.
6. Grease a pie plate or pastry dish with a spray of olive oil.  Line the dish with 3 layers of filo, folded over if necessary.  If you can get the filo sheets apart, you can spray in between the layers for extra crispyness.
7. Spoon the mixture into the dish and top with the remaining sheets of pastry (spraying in between if you wish).  Spray the top of the pastry with a bit more olive oil.
8. Bake in  the oven for 45 minutes.  Serve warm from the oven or at room temperature.
