Filo, spinach and egg tart

Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Heat oil in a non-stick pan. Soften onion and mushrooms for a few minutes with mixed herbs.

2 Add capsicum. Cook for a few more minutes. Stir in spinach. Heat through.

3 Line a lightly greased quiche dish with filo pastry. The sides need to slightly overlap the edge of the dish. Spray pastry with a little oil.

4 Add vegetables to pastry. In a bowl, mix eggs together with cottage cheese, milk and parmesan. Add to pie. Bake for 25 minutes, or until set and lightly golden.
