FourPreheat the oven to 210C (190C Fan).
Make the filling by mixing the cheeses, beaten egg, sundried tomatoes and nutmeg. Squeeze any excess water from the spinach, chop roughly and add. Season well with salt and pepper.
Grease and line a 20cm cake tin or a 20x20cm square tin. (NB – you can use a larger cake tin and reduce the cooking time. A 29cm cake tin will take approx. 20 minutes to cook). Carefully take a sheet of filo and drape it across the cake tin pressing it down gently into the tin leaving the edges over lapping the tin. Repeat with the other 2 sheets draping them at a different angles around the tin such that you create a little basket that you can place your filling in. Add the filling to the centre and then bring the edges roughly over to make the top of the pie.
Brush the folded over sheets with melted butter. Bake for 30 minutes until golden.
Place the tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives and mint in a bowl and drizzle with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Serve with the pie.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a calculation that uses your height and weight to determine a number that represents your risk for obesity-related health conditions such as heart disease, hypertension and diabetes. The higher your BMI is over 25, the greater the risk of developing these conditions.**
**There are some limitations to the Body Mass Index calculation, because it does not measure body composition. BMI overestimates body fat in persons who are very muscular and it can underestimate body fat in persons who have lost muscle mass (e.g., many elderly). People with more muscular builds may be classified as overweight according to BMI numbers even if they have a very healthy body fat percentage. A high BMI from increased muscle alone is not associated with health risks. These are the recommended classifications for BMI, adopted by the Expert Panel on the Identification, Evaluation, and Treatment of Overweight & Obesity in Adults, and endorsed by leading organizations of health professionals.
