This recipe serves 6 people with 189 calories per serve which is fantastic when calorie counting like I am. The golden crunchy full pastry is beautiful when I don't really eat to much pastry anymore because of the calories. The feta cheese makes a nice difference I found to just ricotta. Give it a go and let me know what you think :)

You Will Need (8 things)

  • 100 g Fat reduces Feta Cheese
  • 1 tsp Ground Nutmeg
  • Olive Oil Spray
  • 250 g Baby Spinach
  • 1 Egg(s)
  • 250 g Light Ricotta Cheese Drained
  • 2 Garlic Cloves Peeled and crushed
  • 1 Medium Onion(s) Finely diced

Steps (4 steps, 50 minutes)

  1. 1

    Heat a spray of oil in a large pan and fry the onion and garlic for 10 minutes until soft but not coloured. Add the spinach and cook for 5 minutes, stirring. Tip into a sieve and press to remove as much excess liquid as possible. Cool.

  2. 2

    Beat the egg with the ricotta and nutmeg and season. Stir in the feta with the spinach and onion. Heat the oven to 200C or 180C fan forced.

  3. 3

    Spray a 20cm loose-based cake tin with a little oil. Line with the filo sheets, leaving excess pastry overhanging and spraying each sheet with oil. Spoon the cheese and spinach mixture into the tin. Bring the pastry up and over the top of the pie. Spray generously with oil.

  4. 4

    Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Serve warm or cold.

    I like to serve mine with a fresh side salad ;)
