Steps:

Firstly make the pastry, or to save time you can use bought pastry. Sift flours and salt into basin, return husks from sifter to basin. Rub in butter, add lemon juice and egg yolk, mix to a pliable dough with hand. Turn onto a lightly-floured surface, roll out to line a 23cm flan tin, trim edges. Bake in moderate hot oven 10 - 15 minutes or until lightly golden brown; cool. Spread evenly with cold filling, bake in a moderate oven 20 - 30 minutes or until set.
Filling: Put spinach in basin, allow to thaw, reserve liquid. Heat oil in pan, add onions, parsley and crushed garlic, cook until tender, add spinach and liquid and dill. Stir constantly over heat for two minutes, remove from heat; cool. When cold, stir in the cheeses and lightly beaten eggs. Mix well.
