Ingredients:
  • Olive oil, to shallow fry, plus 1 tbsp, extra
  • 1 filo pastry sheet, cut into 5mm‑thick strips

Instructions:
  • Heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan until it reaches 1cm up the side of the pan over medium heat. Add a quarter of the filo strips and fry for 10-20 seconds until golden and crisp. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the rest of the filo strips.

Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes until spinach wilts and liquid evaporates. - Mix in lemon rind and 2 tbsp dill. - Pour egg mixture into the pan and top with three-quarters of the feta. - Cook for 3 minutes until starting to set around the edges. - Place the pan under the grill for 5 minutes until set and golden.
