Greek Pie Preparation

Preheat oven to 200 Degrees Celsius

Grease a medium pie dish by spraying with oil, or wiping butter over the dish. Then, take out a sheet of frozen short cut pastry sheet and lay over the pie dish. The pastry will lie stiffly on top, allow it to sit and defrost while you prepare the rest of the ingredients

Add 250 grams frozen chopped spinach into a microwave safe dish and cook for 5 minutes or until defrosted.

Once defrosted, use paper towel to absorb ALL liquid from the spinach. You need to ensure you have removed as much liquid as possible or the pie will be sloppy.

Once spinach is dry, add it to your thermomix bowl

Add 3 eggs

Add 250 grams cottage cheese

Break fetta into 2-3 cm pieces, then Add 250 grams fetta cheese

Add 2 teaspoons of minced garlic

Add 1 teaspoon of oregano

Blend, speed 8 for 10 seconds

Gently mould your shortcrust pastry into the pie dish by pushing it into the dish

Pour all thermomix bowl ingredients onto the pastry, smoothing out as you go to make the mixture level. Then fold the overhanging corners gently so they sit ontop of the mixture

Baste some oil or butter onto the exposed pastry corners

Bake the pie for 25-30 minutes or until the center of the pie has set in so no longer sloppy

Once cooked, enjoy with a side salad!
