Spinach Banista

This is one my my favs. It is delicious and easy to make.

Ingredients:
-300 g chopped frozen spinach(I bought a package for 0.99 on sale. My suggestion would be to wait until they're on sale and stock up)
-1 pack of phyllo pastry sheet
-6-7 eggs
-300g feta cheese, crumbled
-300 g of plain yogurt
-1/2 can of carbonated water
-butter, sunflower oil

What to do:

-preheat the oven to 325 degress celcius
-mix the eggs, thawed spinach, feta cheese and yogurt
-mix butter(melted), sunflower oil and use to lubricate pan.
-Layer two sheets of phyllo pastry on top of oiled pan (with a smaller pan, just fold the sheet)
-Place mixture and spread on sheet
-place another two sheet phyllo, brush butter mixture, place mixture
-repeat

once the phyllo, butter, mixture repetition is done (when you run out of mixture), cut the banista and add the carbonated water on top.

Bake for 40 minutes.


Et Voila!
