2 Large bunch of fresh spinach or 1kg frozen spinach
1 large bunch of spring onions
4 eggs
50 gm pine nuts
200gm Feta cheese
200ml thickened cream
1 lemon
¼ cup of rice flour
2 sheets of Puff pastry
6-7 sheets of Fillow pastry

Place pie on table and open Fillow pastry and crumble around 6 sheets on top of pie to decorate

Other versions of the basic Pie recipe.
Version one:
This is using a much smaller 12cm diameter loose base fancy flan dish
In here I only use puff pastry for closing the spinach pie top as well baste the top with egg yolk as a glace
Version Two:
This is using only the Fillow Pastry, fold the pastry to 10 cm wide then fill with the spinach and fold creating triangles . Baste with egg yolk as a glace. Can be sprinkled with sesame seed.
