Ingredients
- 450g Nature’s Pick Unwashed Spinach
- 100g The Pantry Walnuts
- 100g Mixed Seeds (Pumpkin and Sunflower, for example)
- 150g Everyday Essentials Greek Style Salad Cheese
- 2 Greenvale Puff Pastry Sheets
- 1 tbsp Oregano
- 2 Eggs
- Olive or Rapeseed Oil, good quality
- Salt
- Pepper
Method
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C. Allow the pastry sheets to come to room temperature.
- Wash and drain the spinach. In a large deep pan, add a drizzle of oil and add the spinach. Sweat the spinach down until just cooked, season generously with salt and pepper, place in a bowl and allow to cool. Once cool, grab small handfuls and squeeze gently to remove the excess water.
- In a frying pan on a moderate heat, dry toast the walnuts and a handful of mixed seeds. Season with salt and remove after 5 minutes.
- On a parchment-lined baking sheet, lay out one of the pastry sheets.
- Add the spinach, leaving a 4-5cm border around the edges. Scatter the seeds and nuts, crumble over the salad cheese and then sprinkle with the oregano.
- Next, separate the eggs, discarding the white and putting the yolks in a bowl. Lightly whisk the yolks. Using a pastry brush, apply the egg yolks to the pastry border. Add the second sheet of pastry to the top and press down to seal the sides, trim if necessary.
- Brush the remaining egg yolk over the top and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden.
