Spinach jerky with cheese and raisins

Today's recipe is inspired by a dish from Greek cuisine, tiropitas or tyropitas, made with filo pastry and filled with egg and cheese, but which Lola (author of the blog Loleta ) has adapted to her taste and makes with spinach, cheese and raisins. A great dish to enjoy at any dinner and that you can prepare in just a few minutes!

This is one of the Lent versions that I like to prepare the most at home. At this time of year I try to put traditional recipes into practice. We have a gastronomy rich in traditions and Lent and the Vigil offer endless possibilities throughout Spain.

But I also really like international cuisine, so today we are going to prepare a dish from Greek cuisine , a mix of various specialties that I have adapted to my taste. In Greece you can find it stuffed with cheese and fried, or with a bread dough and filled with spinach.

Today's recipe is my personal version , because instead of using just eggs and cheese, I 've included raisins and spinach . I love the taste of raisins with feta cheese, but you can leave them out and it will still be just as good.

Also, instead of frying it, it is prepared in the oven because I find it lighter and easier to prepare. To prepare it this way you don't need a special mould. I used my 24 cm Bra shallow casserole dish as a mould because it is perfect for this recipe.
