Fake spanakopita
"Real" spanakopita is made with filo pastry, but come on folks - that's much too much like hard work! So here's my quick and easy cheat -
You will need
2 sheets of ready-to-use puff pastry
2 eggs
Some baby spinach leaves
100g (about 4oz) feta cheese, crumbled
100g of some other creamy cheese (brie, ricotta, dolcelatte or similar) cut into small pieces
Lay one sheet of puff pastry onto a baking tray
In a bowl combine the spinach, eggs (retain a small amount of yolk) and cheese. Season well.
Pile the mixture onto the pastry sheet and cover with the second sheet.
Crimp the edges with a fork
Brush with the left-over yolk mixed with a little oil
Bake in the oven at 180C for about 30 minutes until golden
Enjoy!
