Instructions

  • Rinse the potatoes, peel them, and cut them into large cubes.
    Steam them for 15 minutes.
  • Wash the spinach, remove the tough stems, and blanch it in a pot of boiling water for 10 minutes.
    Once cooked, drain the water in a colander and use the back of a tbsp to press down on the spinach and squeeze out the excess water.
  • Meanwhile, peel the onion and chop it into small pieces.
    Rinse the parsley and chop it.
  • Sauté the parsley and onion in olive oil for 5 minutes over low heat.
    Don’t let them brown; they should just sweat and soften.

    When they’re done, add the coarsely chopped spinach and stir.

  • Mash the potatoes with a fork, then add the spinach, onion, and parsley mixture, along with the grated sheep’s milk cheese and capers.
    Season with
    salt and pepper, and mix well until the mixture is smooth.
  • Place some of the mixture on each sheet of brick pastry.
    Press it down slightly in the center, then crack an egg on top.
  • Heat a little oil in a skillet.
    Fold the phyllo sheets in half, and gently place them in the hot oil using a spatula.
    The oil must be hot enough (without smoking), otherwise the brick pastry will soak up oil instead of browning.

    Seal the edges by pressing down with a wooden spatula.

  • Let them cook for a few minutes.
    When the bricks are golden brown and crisp on the bottom, flip them over using a spatula.
  • Cook for another few minutes and serve piping hot, with a green salad and a slice of lemon.
