Greek Three-Cheese,Spinach & Onion Potpie

[ALX]

Been drizzling 3 straight days and tropical storm Nicole is gonna hit us next 24 hours with 5 inches and hard winds.....Free time in afternoon with no garden work.....

I really dig Chef of Pastry/Desserts cooking by Elinor Klivans

Here is the recipe....Similiar to a greek Spanakopita

http://www.cookstr.com/recipes/greek...p-onion-potpie

Plenty of greens in garden....Mustard greens,collards,kale and baby spinach i used in back of pic...Cages are to keep some pesky deer out....They havent walked,jumped over tthem yet....





Wilted the fresh spinach with some of my carmelized red onion and garlic...









What makes this killer is three cheeses...Monterey jack,feta and Ricotta....Here it is with the 2 beaten eggs...





Add spinach,onion and fresh parsley,dill from garden




Just build from here...Layer of phyllo dough buttered and layer of filling





2 layers phyllo and then another layer filling





Lightly score phyllo and butter....I had to run out for a few hours and kept it moist on top(butter) and wrapped...It can be refrigerated overnight etc...





350 degree for 45 minutes and rest a little









These 2 wedges filled me up fine... Will be nice with the beef roast i am grill smoking tomorrow if it lasts...







The fresh ingredients make this POP...I have done this alot when my spinach is in season...Was thinking maybe salami or extra PP,brisket could be interesting in it....Always good on its own and very filling....
