Instructions
Prep
Heat oven to 240°C with a baking tray inside. Crumble feta, dice onion finely, mince garlic, chop parsley and dill, halve lemons. Whisk 2 egg yolks for brushing in a small bowl.
Saute
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat 1 minute. Add onion, cook 3 minutes until softened. Add garlic 30 seconds until fragrant, then add spinach in batches over high heat 3–4 minutes until fully wilted.

Off heat 3 minutes, drain spinach mixture in a sieve pressing firmly to release excess liquid. Fold spinach with feta, nutmeg, pepper, salt, and half the dill until evenly combined. Divide filling in half for two pides.
Wrap
Roll each dough ball into an oval 30cm by 15cm on parchment. Fold edges inward to form a boat-shape with raised borders, pinch the two ends to a point. Spoon half the filling along the centre of each pide leaving borders clear. Brush borders with egg yolk.
Bake
Slide first pide onto the hot tray, bake at 240°C for 10 minutes until borders crisp deep gold. Off heat 1 minute, slide pide out, crack 1 whole egg gently into the centre ensuring yolk sits intact. Return to 240°C oven 5 minutes until egg white sets and yolk runs soft. Repeat with second pide.
Plate
Lift each pide onto a board, brush borders with melted butter. Scatter parsley, remaining dill, and pul biber across both pides. Finish with a generous squeeze of lemon and slice across to serve.
