This was very good pie!! Next time i will drain the cheeses from water for and hour our bottom got abit soggy but we dried it out whit kitchen paper :) Didnt know how much 1 box of spinach is so i used 1 150g bag of spinach per box. I also didnt understand what was that layering for so i didnt do it. Next time i will add even more feta cheese, more spinach and i will use a zaar Recipe#111650 i think this will be perfection. Thanks you for posting this!
