Filo Florentine Pizza

I made this the other night with lots of bits and pieces lying around in my fridge. I didn’t know if it would turn out well but surprisingly it did. The pastry base is crispy and light and the classic florentine combination of spinach, eggs, and lots of cheese was yummy. This would also be a great addition to a fancy brunch or lunch with friends and family.

Ingredients:

6-8 Filo Pastry Sheets
4 tbsp Pizza Sauce (my recipe here)
50g Parmesan grated
50g Mozzarella thinly sliced
Large Handful of Spinach
3 Eggs
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper

Method:

1. Grease a baking try with a bit of olive oil and lay down the filo sheets on the baking tray. Crinkle up the edges – it doesn’t have to be pretty.
2. In a small bowl, whisk an egg, and brush the egg mixture lightly over the filo pastry.
3. Spread the pizza sauce over the base of the pastry and sprinkle over the parmesan.
4. Place in the oven for 10 minutes.
5. Remove from the oven and place the spinach and mozzarella on the pizza. Place back in the oven for 5 minutes.
6. After 5 minutes remove it from the oven and crack two eggs onto the pizza.
7. Drizzle over a little olive oil and a pinch of salt and place back in the oven until the eggs are set but still have a runny yolk (about 10 mins).
8. Cut the pizza up and serve immediately. Enjoy!
