Spinach jerky with cheese and raisins

Today's recipe is inspired by a Greek dish, tiropitas or tyropitas, made with filo pastry and stuffed with egg and cheese, but which Lola (author of the Loleta blog) has adapted to her liking and makes it with spinach, cheese and you pass A great dish to enjoy at any dinner and that you will prepare in a few minutes!

This is one of the Lenten versions that I like to prepare at home the most. At this time of year I try to put traditional recipes into practice. We have a gastronomy very 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 Greek cuisine dish , a mix of various specialties that I have adapted to my liking. In Greece you can find it stuffed with cheese and fried, or with a bread dough and stuffed with spinach.

This today is my personal version , because instead of using only eggs and cheese, I have included raisins and spinach . I love the taste of the raisins with the feta cheese, but if you want you can leave them out and it will be just as good.

Also, instead of fried, it is prepared in the oven because I find it lighter and easier to prepare. To prepare it like this you do not need a special mold. I have used my 24 cm Bra low casserole as a mold because it is perfect for this recipe.
