Spinach and cheese pie or vrehti

This is my favourite pie and the reason that I learned to roll out filo sheets. We only use spinach, cheese and eggs in the filling. Simple but very tasty.

Ingredient

Food ration :

about 20 pieces

Cooking time :

60 Minutes

750 g

flour (the cheapest you find in the supermarket)

2 tbsp

water (all the liquids should be half the weight of the solids, meaning that if you use 1 kg flour then water, oil and vinegar should be 1/2 kg)

oil (you use half in the filling and with the rest you sprinkle the sheets)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Put all the ingredients for the filo in a large bowl and knead so that you make a ball.

* Step 2

Divide the dough into 13 balls (make the 3 that will go last on top a bit smaller and the 4 that will go to the bottom should be larger).

* Step 3

Cover them with a towel and then a small tray and set them aside for at least 2 hours (sometimes I make the dough in the evening and leave it overnight).

* Step 4

Chop the spinach, wash it and after it drains, salt it. Leave it with the salt for at least 1 hour and then take handfuls of the spinach and squeeze them to remove any liquids. Place them in a large bowl and add the cheese, eggs and oil.

* Step 5

Roll out all the sheets using corn starch.

* Step 6

Spread the first 4, larger sheets in the baking tray (don't forget to sprinkle the sheets with oil).

* Step 7

Add 1/3 of the filling.

* Step 8

Spread 3 more sheets over the filling.

* Step 9

Spread 1/3 of the filling.

* Step 10

Add 3 more sheets.

* Step 11

Add the rest of the filling and turn the sheets inwards.

* Step 12

Finally, cover with the 3 last, smaller filo sheets. Score the pie with a knife and pour over it a mixture that you make with 1 egg, some milk and a little bit of oil.
