Hortopita - Wild Greens Pie

Step 1

Blend all the ingredients in a food processor until they form a ball. Remove it from the bowl, pat it and smooth it out, cover with plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for about 1 hour.

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 180 deg C and oil a baking dish (mine measured 25cm W x 35cm L)

Step 3

Divide your pastry into two and roll out to measure the length of the pan. Place one quantity of the rolled pastry onto a lightly oiled baking dish, ensuring it fits well and comes up the sides.

Step 4

Combine the cheeses, salt, pepper and eggs in a large bowl and then toss through the remaining and mix well, ensuring the mixture =is evenly distributed. (using your hands makes this part a lot easier).

Step 5

Place the greens mixture into the dish with the pastry and ensuring it all fits. (Don't be afraid to force it all in there!)

Step 6

Lay the second rolled piece of pastry over the greens mixture and pinch the sides over to encase the mixture. Pierce the top with a sharp knife making some vents.

Step 7

Brush the top generously with olive oil and bake in the oven for 45-50 mins or until the top is browned.

Step 8

Allow to cool in the pan for at least an hour before slicing through and serving.
