There is no better food for me then the food from my homeland, the flavours I grow up with.
Buttery pastry mixed up with spinach and cheese, accomplished by yogurt and cucumber and salty olives.... and there is a ouzo drink as well....
 

you will need:

270 gr filo pastry, I've got 7 sheets 

300 gr spinach 

100 gr feta cheese

100 gr cottage cheese

2 eggs

1 spring onion 

40 gr butter, melted

pepper

sesame seeds

Wash and chop the spinach.

In a cooking pot drop 2 Tbsp hot water, add the spinach and stir until the spinach is wilted.

Cool it down and squeeze off any liquid before you mix it with cheeses + eggs + spring onion and pepper. You wont need salt because  the feta cheese is salted enough. 

Now the filling is ready,melt the butter.

 Place the  filo pastry on a clean worktop and cut the sheets on half to get 14 long sheets.

Brush each pastry with some butter and put 1 Tbsp of the filling in the corner of the pastry.

Fold and fold again :) 

until you get triangle shape pastries.

Place them in a large baking tray then

brush them with some more butter and sprinkle sesame seeds.

Bake on 180 C for 25 minutes.
