Roast Sweet Potato, Spinach & Feta Pie

The top and bottom of the pie are both puff pasty, I like to cook the pie then flip it onto a plate and slide it back in the pan upside down and cook the bottom until it too is crispy, then flip it back onto a plate right side up, the result was perfection. Oh but I forgot one thing ...onion, having said that I think it would of overpowered the lovely dill flavour, maybe a few shallots would of been good though. so add them if you wish. I served it with a simple salad and a warm sweet balsamic sauce by simply mixing balsamic vinegar and a bit of brown sugar to a pan until lightly caramelized. This is a great pie for any meal hot or cold. It is super easy to do as well  hope you enjoy it,

What you need:

1x non stick deep pie dish
2x sheets of Puff Pastry
3x 60g eggs ( one for the wash)
200gm pkt of Feta Cheese
1x pkt of frozen Chopped Spinach ( thawed and all the water squashed out)
1x medium sweet potato
2 teaspoons dried Dill Leaves
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon of crushed garlic
diced Shallots (optional)

What to do:

1. Roast the sweet potato in a little olive oil with dried dill leaves and garlic until just cooked, roughly mash with a fork, you want it chunky not mashed.
2. Place into a large bowl the sweet potato, spinach, crumble in the feta cheese , add 2 eggs, salt pepper and add some more dried dill and the shallots if you have them. Mix until well combined.
3. Line the pie tin with one sheet of the puff pastry. No need to cut the edges off. Fill with the pie mixture and cover with the other sheet of pastry. Now tuck in all the edges of the pastry so it is completely enclosed.
4. Whisk the remaining egg and brush the top of the pie. Bake in a fan forced over and 185 medium fan for about 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Remove from oven.
5.Place a plate on top of the pie and flip it out, then slide it back into the pie dish, brush with egg wash and pop it back in the oven until the bottom is golden brown. Remove from oven and flip the pie back out onto a plate or wire rack.
6. serve hot or cold with a leafy green salad
