- 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.

RUSTIC PIES/GALETTES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Stir together the prepared fruit, 1/2 cup sugar, flour, and spices and/or seasonings in a large bowl until combined.
- On a well-floured surface, using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the dough into a large circle, about 12 to 14 inches. Make sure the rolled dough is chilled. Spoon the fruit mixture onto the center of the dough leaving a 1-inch border. Fold the edges of the dough over the fruit, pleating the dough, then dot the fruit filling with the butter pieces. Lightly brush the dough with egg wash and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons sugar.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Cover the crust with foil if the crust browns too quickly. Cool.
- Serve the warm galette with ice cream.
- Cook's Note: The same recipe can be made in individual serving sizes.
- To make pie dough:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a mixing bowl, mix together the flour and the salt; cut or work the butter into the flour with your fingers or a pastry blender until you have large pea sized chunks scattered throughout. Alternatively, pulse the dough in a food processor, or mix in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment on low speed.
- Add the ice water slowly while stirring with a fork, or in the food processor or mixer, until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the dough. Divide the dough into 2 disks, flatten and refrigerate each for at least 15 minutes.
- Roll out one chilled pie dough to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Reserve the second pie dough disc for another use. Transfer dough to pie plate, pressing the dough lightly into the plate; trim the edges. Dock the dough with the prongs of a fork evenly over the bottom of the pie plate. Line the docked dough with aluminum foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
- Bake the pie crust until the edges are brown and golden, about 15 minutes Remove from the oven and remove the weights. Return crust to the oven to finish baking for another 5 minutes.
- Rustic Pie/Galette Variations:
- Almond Apricot: Season the sliced apricots with almond paste or extract.
- Spiced-Apple Pear: Season the sliced apples and pears with cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar.
- All-Berry: Fill the baked crust with pastry cream and top with sweetened berries.
- Caramelized Onion and Walnut: Caramelize 4 Spanish onions; let cool. Top the dough with grated Gruyere cheese and spread the onions and toasted walnuts over the cheese.

Steps:
- Put the spinach into a large pan. Pour over a couple tbsp water, then cook until just wilted. Tip into a sieve, leave to cool a little, then squeeze out any excess water and roughly chop. Roughly chop the tomatoes and put into a bowl along with the spinach, feta and eggs. Mix well.
- Carefully unroll the filo pastry. Cover with some damp sheets of kitchen paper to stop it drying out. Take a sheet of pastry and brush liberally with some of the sundried tomato oil. Drape oil-side down in a 22cm loosebottomed cake tin so that some of the pastry hangs over the side. Brush oil on another piece of pastry and place in the tin, just a little further round. Keep placing the pastry pieces in the tin until you have roughly three layers, then spoon over the filling. Pull the sides into the middle, scrunch up and make sure the filling is covered. Brush with a little more oil.
- Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Cook the pie for 30 mins until the pastry is crisp and golden brown. Remove from the cake tin, slice into wedges and serve with salad.

- Galatopita: Greek Milk Pie. The author of this recipe calls it “creamy, dreamy, and just plain delightful,” and that description is so perfect that it’s hard for me to top it.
- Greek Bougatsa (Custard Pie with Phyllo and Ground Cinnamon) If you love thin, flaky phyllo dough as much as I do, then you can probably tell just by the name that this is a Greek pie that you’ll appreciate.
- Kreatopita: Greek Minced Meat & Phyllo Pie. Here’s another beautiful Greek pie with a thin and flaky phyllo crust. This one, though, has a savory filling of meat sauce, roasted red peppers, feta cheese, mozzarella, and more.
- Sfakianopita: Cretan Cheese Pie With Nuts And Honey. This pie is a bit different from all the others on the list. For one thing, it walks the line between sweet (honey, nuts, and cinnamon) and tangy (feta cheese, brandy, and lemon juice).
- Spanakopita Recipe (Greek Spinach Pie) In this pie, a crunchy phyllo crust surrounds a scrumptious filling that’s cheesy, herby, and full of tender, flavorful, well-seasoned spinach.

- To prepare this spinach pie recipe, sauté the onions in a large knob of butter until soft and turning golden. Add the garlic and cook for a couple of minutes. Add the spinach in batches and cook until wilted. Cool, then tip into a bowl (leaving behind any excess liquid from the spinach) and mix in the nutmeg, feta, eggs, spring onion and season. This will be the filling of the spanakopita.
- For this spinach pie recipe you will need a non stick baking pan, about 20-22cm. Put the first sheet of filo in the pan and brush with butter, letting the excess hang over the sides. Keep going with the rest of the sheets, turning a little before adding each additional pastry sheet and brushing all over with butter. When all the pastry is used up, tip in the filling of the spanakopita and fold over the excess pastry to cover.
