Rustic Greek Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (450 g) packet frozen spinach, thawed and chopped
    1 sheet ready-rolled shortcrust pastry
    3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
    150 g halloumi cheese, grated (see note)
    120 g feta, crumbled
    1 tablespoon fresh oregano
    2 eggs
    1/4 cup cream
    lemon wedge, to serve
Preparation
    Preheat oven to moderately hot 200oC (400oF).
    Squeeze the excess liquid from the spinach.
    Place the pastry sheet on a baking tray and spread the spinach in the middle, leaving a 3cm (1 1/4 inch) border.
    Sprinkle the garlic over the spinach and pile the haloumi and feta on top.
    Sprinkle with oregano and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
    Cut a short slit into each corner of the pastry sheet, then tuck each side of the pastry over to form a border around the filling.
    Lightly beat the eggs with the cream and carefully pour the egg mixture over the spinach filling.
    Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and the filling is set.
    Cut into four portions and serve with lemon wedges and a green salad.
    Note: If haloumi cheese is not available use all feta instead.
