SPINACH AND CHEESE PIE

Steps:

• Pre heat oven to gas mark 6.Rinse the spinach and cook briefly in the water that it holds. Drain well - I put it in a small colander with a dish on top with a set of old weights in. Get rid of as much liquid as possible.
• In a bowl combine the soft cheese, grated cheddar. egg and spinach.
• Add grated nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste. Leave to cool slightly whilst you roll the pastry.
• Put rolled pastry onto a 30cm enamel pie plate - I find that the pastry cooks better on these.
• Add the filling. Use the second egg to brush round the edge before adding the top.
• Crimp the edges to seal, glaze with beaten egg then sprinkle the crushed walnuts on top.
• Bake for 30minutes until the top is golden.

ZELJANICA (CHEESE & SPINACH PIE)

Steps:

• Lightly oil a roasting tin (ours was about 25 x 35cm and 4cm deep) and line with baking parchment. Mix the eggs, cheeses, soured cream or crème fraîche, spinach and some seasoning together in a bowl.
• In another bowl, mix together the oil, yogurt and baking powder. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• Cut the filo sheets in half so they are roughly the size of the tin. Put one filo sheet in the tin and evenly brush over 1-2 tbsp of the yogurt mixture using pastry brush. Top with another filo sheet, brush over more yogurt mixture and repeat until you've used half the filo.
• Pour over the cheese filling, then gently spread it to the edges using a spatula. Continue layering the rest of the filo sheets and yogurt mix. Spread any remaining yogurt mix over the top of the final filo sheet.
• Cut the pie into squares (either nine or 12, depending on how big you want the pieces to be). Will keep frozen for up to a month. Defrost completely in the fridge overnight before cooking. Top each square with a small knob of butter, then bake for 20 mins. Reduce the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and bake for another 25-30 mins until browned on top. Leave to cool slightly before serving warm. Will keep covered and chilled for up to two days.

SIMPLE BUT SENSATIONAL SPINACH AND FETA QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line instant pie shell with a SINGLE layer of the Muenster cheese slices.
• Carefully press all of the water out of the spinach and place it in a large mixing bowl. If you prefer, you can use just half the amount of spinach called for in the recipe, we like a lot of spinach so we use the whole box.
• Whisk or blend the cream cheese until it is smooth and has no lumps, add eggs, Parmesan cheese (Note: if you use pre-grated parmesan you may get a gummy texture to the interior of your quiche because of the commercial non-clumping agents put into pre-grated cheese), salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste; stir well.
• Pour into pie shell and top with crumbled feta. Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes or until feta is lightly golden. NOTE: If you are using a frozen shell, bake the quiche on a lower rack in the oven an add 10-15 minutes to the cooking time. Watch crust edges closely, and if they become too brown, cover edges with foil to finish baking. For quicker cooking, you may choose to blind bake the crust first.
• Allow quiche to set up for 10 minutes before serving.
