The basis is the recipe here, but the thought of doing the filo pastry with all that olive oil put me off, so I adapted in and put it into a flan, blind baking the pastry first. I think it works well. I made it for my daughter and she enjoyed it.

Spanakopita
The idea for this came from reading a couple of books by Victoria Hislop, The Thread and The Island, both set in Greece, with good storylines and very well written. In these she often mentions Greek dishes, and spanakopita was one.
