Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease 6 large ramekins.

Fry the onion in the olive oil until soft. Wash the spinach well and cook until just wilted. Drain the spinach, put it between two plates and press them together to remove excess liquid. Chop the spinach roughly and add the onion, cream, eggs, cheeses, piquanté peppers and olives and season with salt and pepper. Spoon the spinach mixture into the prepared ramekins.
Pastry:
Brush the phyllo pastry sheets with the melted butter, crumple the sheets gently and put a sheet on top of the filling in each ramekin. Bake for about 25 minutes or until pale brown. Serve with potato chips.

Tip of the day

Separate eggs
When separating eggs, make sure to crack them into a pristinely clean bowl. Even a small amount of fat prevents the whites from whipping well.
