    3 Pour mixture into prepared pan. Top with feta and pine nuts, then bake for 35 minutes or until top is golden. Remove from pan and slice into 6. Serve with remaining spinach and pesto, if using.

    HFG tip

    If you can’t find wholemeal self-raising flour, use regular wholemeal flour mixed with two teaspoons of baking powder per cup measure.

      This is absolutely delicious! Tasty, filling and easy to make. We enjoyed it with baby potatoes and a salad. This will definitely be making a repeat appearance on our family menu.
