- Brush a 9 inch round baking tin with olive oil, a loose bottom or springform pan will make it easier to remove the pie after baking.
- Brush a sheet of phyllo with olive oil, line the tin, sprinkle with some breadcrumbs, repeat with all the sheets overlapping each time and using the breadcrumbs, you will have lots of pastry hanging over the side of the tin.
- Drain the fish, mix gently with the spinach mixture and pour in the pastry lined tin.
- Top with the cheese and then the tomatoes.
- Roll the overhanging pastry up and over the edge of the tin, ending up with a tight roll all the way around the pie but on the inside of the tin, then brush the pastry roll with olive oil.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, let stand for 5 minutes and remove from the tin.

This was delicious! I made this last weekend using cod fillets as I could not get either catfish or tilapia. The instructions were clear and it was very easy to put this together. My husband and I were both very pleased with the results and would highly recommend this recipe to anyone! I used Mozzarella cheese and baby plum tomatoes. Thanks Pets for another winner!

Hello, my name is Bonnie and I am a very beautiful cat as you can see if you look at the picture at the top of this page.... What??.. I am supposed to talk about you??? But it says here: About Me!! Well all right then ......
My mom is Dutch and has moved to England in October 2007, after living 15 years in the Netherlands with my English dad. They don’t have any human children and “created” their own family, which means I have to share them with Hannah, she is a 6 years old tortie cat, Abby the dog, she is a 9 year old Beagle, and a one year old black Miniature Pincher named Poppy, I refuse to tell you my age but I am a georgious lilac British Shorthair cat!!
It is obvious she adores pets just by looking at her name she uses on Zaar (many on Zaar call her Pets or Petsie Poo), her name in real life is Annelies and that is a common Dutch name.
My mom always liked to cook, but since she joined Zaar it got out of control, and it doesn’t help that she is disorganized. Printed recipes everywhere in the house, the recipe binders have got bigger and just between you and me, her hips too!!!
I have lived in Holland all of my life until now, but they lived in several different countries/places:- desert and coastal Oman, up North and West in Holland, Vancouver-Canada, Aberdeen- Scotland and in Norway they lived in Bergen and Oslo. We have all moved together to England, as you can see I’ve already learnt the language!
I heard her say to Dad that this is the last time she moved to another country...she's had it with moving from one place to another! ( its her age...she's getting grumpy)
Mom is 55 years old but I always hear her say that the date of her birthday does not mean that much to her, the date of her cancer anniversary is more important, because so far she is a survivor.
Besides cooking she has other interests too, crafts, gardening and soap making.
She likes Zaar and is one of the hosts on the German-Benelux Forum here on RecipeZaar.
She would like to thank everybody who tries and comments on the recipes she has posted on Recipezaar, your feedback is very much appreciated.
