4 Spring Onions, sliced

pinch grated Nutmeg
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 pkt Puff Pastry
Heat the oil in a large saucepan & lightly cook the spinach & spring onions until the spinach has wilted and the onions are translucent. Remove from pan and drain on kitchen paper (this mixture needs to be as dry as possible). Next mix the feta cheese, eggs, nutmeg, salt & pepper together, crumbling/breaking the feta cheese up as you do so. Add the spinach/onion mixture to this, & mix to blend well.
Grease a pie dish and press half the puff pastry into this (base & sides). Pour the spinach mixture into this, and then top with the other half of the puff pastry. Brush with beaten egg and bake at 180’C/350’F/Gas Mark 4 for 45 minutes to 1 hour until done.
