I always use the filo pastry and it turns out so yummy every time!! The filo pastry is brushed lightly with melted butter every layer. I like how we eat lots of spinach in this recipe. - beach1968

Ingredients

1 tub soft ricotta well drained
350 g hard ricotta crumbled well drained
1 bunch spinach boiled drained washed squeezed
2 eggs lightly beaten
1/3 cup parmesan cheese
4 spring onions thinly sliced
1 tbs olive oil
6 sheets Pampas filo pastry
100 g butter melted

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180C or 160C fan-forced and lightly grease a quiche dish, or round ceramic/glass dish.
Step 2

In a bowl, add ricotta cheeses, spinach, parmesan and eggs and mix well.
Step 3

Lay a clean cloth, or place mat down and then place the baking dish on top. Brush melted butter around and down the bottom of the dish, then lay sheets of pastry, making sure the pastry extends out of the edges.
Step 4

Make sure you make about 4-6 layers at the base to make a firm base, then proceed to bring the extended pastry layers over the spinach mixture, ensuring you apply melted butter sparsely in-between and on top.
Step 5

Cook in the oven for 20-25 minutes depending on your oven until golden brown.
