SPINAKOPITA:
8 sheets filo pastry
½ cup butter
½ lb. zucchini, thinly sliced
1 lb. spinach shredded
4 shallot thinly sliced
4 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
4 tsp. olive oil
½ tsp. dried oregano
2 eggs, beaten
salt and pepper
Add 2 tbsp. olive oil and oregano to the feta cheese and mix well together.
Heat remaining olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat until hot and cook
zucchini for 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Add in spinach and shallot
and toss well together.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Melt butter and use 1 tbsp. of it to
grease an 11 x 8 baking tin. Line the base and sides of baking tin with 4
sheets of filo pastry, brushing each sheet with melted butter before layering. Transfer vegetable mixture to cover bottom of pastry
base. Cover this with another 4 sheets of filo, each sheet having been brushed
with butter before layering.
Trim pastry sheets and tuck ends down inside the baking tin to prevent
filling escaping. With a sharp knife, score top two layers of pastry into
squares or diamond shapes.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Cut into shapes. Serve hot or cold.
