-Onion

-Garlic

-Salt

Pepper

-Puff pastry (and let if start defrosting)

-Olive oil

-Halloumi cheese

-Cheddar cheese

Wash and dry the silverbeet, removing the stalks from the leaves. Cut the stalks finely and saute with cut the onion and garlic for five minutes. Finely chop the silverbeet leaves and add to the silverbeet mixture, stirring for another two minutes.

Grease the chosen baking dish with olive oil (so it won't stick). Then carefully border the dish with the puff pastry sheets. Layer with alternating filling and cheese, seasoning where necessary. Then top the pie with a puff pastry sheet and design as desired. Finally, brush with olive oil and place in the oven at 180 degrees celsius for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Take the pie from the oven and cut into equal sized pieces and place on a plate. Best served with roast vegetables. If you have leftovers reheat in the oven the following day.
