Cut the sheet lengthways down the middle to make two long rectangles. Cut little widthways slashes along the other piece of pastry, stopping just over a centimetre shy of the edges. Brush around the spinach sausage with some of the beaten egg. Gently lift the sheet up and stretch it a little to open up the slashes and then put carefully over the spinach-topped pastry.
Brush over any remaining margarine. Finally, let the non-stick paper rest over the top. This will help prevent the top from burning. The extra paper will also allow you to lift the cooked pie out easily. A traditional Greek pie commonly made with filo pastry. Shop bought filo saves a lot of time and is much easier.
