fantastic recipe! i added some bacon for some extra flavour and blind baked my pastry for about 10-12 mins.
i used recotta cheese instead of feta and it was fine.
this dish was so easy to cook and the flavour was awesome.
Made this for my family last night. It was the first time I had ever made the short-crust pastry but certainly won't be the last! There was a fight over who would take the remaining piece to school today!! I added a clove of garlic with the onions and went easy on the nutmeg.
Thanks for a great way of using silverbeet, I will definitely be making this again.
Yum! Loved this recipe, thanks!!!
I made this a few nights ago and it was just super yummy - the whole family ate it up. I put it in my pyrex dish with a sheet of pastry on top and it was great - should have made the effort to make pastry but it was a hot day.
Hi Julia, I have never baked blind with this recipe. Because it is cooked for 45minutes it doesn't seem to need it. You can also use filo pastry with this filling and it's lovely, but more time consuming and fidly.
Thank you for the comments.

Well,I decided to make large muffin sized pies with no lid. I did blind bake the cases for ten minutes, and then I topped them with a sprinkle of parmesan. They were delicious. I baked them at 190 for about 20 minutes. I did 2 extra with puff pastry for myself because my family don't like chilli, but sadly for me they found them delicious also,so I got very little. I will definitely make them again. Thank you for sharing that lovely filling.
I'm half way through making this dish and wonder if I should blind bake the pastry before filling. And i'm not quite sure how long to bake it.
