Notes

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS

Allow the filo pastry to defrost before using.
The filo pastry is very delicate so be careful when brushing over the butter.
Add the baby spinach in two seperate lots (this avoids overloading the Thermomix bowl).
Use a soft feta (like Danish feta).
Bake the pie until golden on top and cooked through in the centre.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freeze for up to 3 months. Allow to defrost in the fridge before reheating.
Reheat in the oven for crispy pastry.
