7. While water/stock heating, place roughly chopped silverbeet and chard in varoma and place varoma on top of jug (should almost be at 100 degrees). If all spinach doesnt fit in do half then wait for it to wilt and add more. (stir through so steams evenly). Set for extra 5 mins if not soft and wilted
8. When steamer finished, add wilted silverbeet and chard to onion herb mix, tip out stock or keep to reuse.
9. Rinse jug with cold water and wipe down. (or use second jug)

11. Add eggs, ricotta and pepper to the remaining cheese . Mix 10 sec speed 5.
12. Mix egg/ cheese mix though spinach onion mix.
13. Layer one puff pastry sheet on bottom of dish, place a third of spinach cheese filling evenly on top, layer another sheet of pastry on top, pressing side of pastry down, add another 3rd mix, place next layer pastry, then last third, top with final pastry sheet, spray sparingly with olive oil, sprinkle reserved cheese over top and using a sharp pointed knife, insert knife 6 times at even intervals to bottom of dish to create 6 air holes.

Tip
Sometime i use a saucepan to saute the onion and herbs then add rinsed chopped silver beet and chard with out any extra liquid, cover with lid and allow to steam itself Takes 5-7 min. (check regularly that it doesnt burn) But i find steaming in varoma keeps colour better.
Serve hot with salad, or cold as a snack lunch or in lunchbox.

I made this with just three layers of puff pastry, and it was nice - grew huge in the oven but deflated when it came out. Next time I won't bother with the middle layer of pastry as that was really soggy, but the pie filling wa delicious. I used mint and dill, which tasted good. Thanks for this recipe!

Made this exactly as stated - it was nice enough But perhaps a wee bit bland for my liking. I might try the suggestions other have given. Served with a salad.
Loved it. I put in 2 extra
Loved it. I put in 2 extra eggs, used fetta cheese instead of the other cheeses, used heaps of herbs including dill which goes really well with this dish, I didnt use stock, I used 4 cloves of garlic and might use 5 next time (I am a garlic fiend), I put in 4 shallots and 1 brown onion. I also just used one sheet of puffed pastry which was layered over the top. Yum!
Its great - possibly coulduse
