Dab butter on dough and fold into a small rectangle, then place in the fridge.

Add eggs into a bowl with dash of milk and whisk together.

Place spinach, melted butter, oil and feta into a bowl and mix together.

Add egg mix to spinach mix and combine.

Grease the baking tray with the melted butter, place rolled out dough over the tray and sprinkle semolina across base and spread spinach across the top. 

Add the top layer of pastry, pinch sides together and drizzle with oil. 

Place in an oven at 200° C and cook for 35 minutes or until golden brown.
