Instrucciones

Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F) (200°C/400°F fan-forced).

In a large bowl, use your hands to combine the frozen spinach, spring onion, dill, mint, eggs, ricotta, feta, salt and pepper.

Layer four sheets of filo pastry in a baking dish, spraying or brushing with olive oil between each layer. There should be some overhang.

Place the spinach mixture into the baking dish, folding the overhanging filo pastry back onto the mixture.

Scrunch the remaining sheets of filo into rough balls and place them on top of the pie, spraying again with olive oil. Sprinkle with the black sesame seeds.

Bake for 30 minutes in the bottom half of the oven (to ensure a crispy base) until the pastry is golden brown.

Allow to stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
