Spinach and Cheese Pie
Our vegetable garden is blessed with an abundance of greens right now and my favorite way to use them up is in this easy , inspired by a traditional Greek "Spanakopita". Surprisingly my children who don't usually eat their "greens" really love eating this Spinach and Cheese pie, so hopefully yours will too?.

Method
Wash spinach/greens, remove any stems or stalks, drain and chop.

Take a large baking dish, grease and line with 5 sheets of fillo. Brush every second sheet with melted butter.
Cover pastry sheets with spinach/greens, then cover spinach/greens with the egg and cheese mixture. Cover with remaining 5 fillo pastry sheets. Brushing each layer with melted butter. Fold over fillo sheets to make a tidy edge.
Bake in moderate oven for 35 minutes or until golden brown. Let pie stand for 5 minutes before cutting. Serve with a delicious Greek salad or Mango Chutney (see my recipeyum.com recipe for this delicious recipe too) and enjoy.
