Spinach and Egg Pie
Description
Delicious baked goods for the whole family. I've been using this recipe for a very long time and I love this dough for its versatility. The filling can be varied, but the baked goods always turn out absolutely wonderful. Today I suggest making a pie with spinach and eggs. I used frozen spinach, but you can also use fresh spinach, adding any seasonal herbs to taste. Serve cooled or slightly warm.

Step 8
Cover the filling with the second piece of dough and seal the edges using any convenient method. Prick the top with a fork to allow steam to escape, and brush the dough with egg yolk. Optionally, sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in the oven at 180°C for about 30-40 minutes.
