Paksoi lasagne

Here is a simple recipe for a paksoi lasagne for 2 persons. I found it again when tiding up my recipes and remembered that it made a really nice meal. You can replace paksoi with "blitva". I'm sorry - I only know the Slovene name for it. It's very similar to paksoi.

Ingredients:

8-10 sheets of (green) lasagne
1 piece of paksoi
1 onion, chopped into small pieces
a bit of oil
2 tomatos, in slices
100g feta
2 eggs
(optional 100g champignons, in slices)
2dl yoghurt
pepper and salt
oregano
rasped cheese
3 table spoons of bread crumbs


What you need to do, is:
Wash paksoi and chop it into smaller pieces. Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the onion, throw in (the champignons and) the paksoi and let it steam for a few minutes (until the paksoi leaves drop). Crush feta cheese and mix it through the vegetables.
Oil and fill up the lasagne model with layers of vegetable mix and lasangne sheets.
For the topping: mix eggs, yoghurt, half of rasped cheese, oregano, salt and pepper and pour this mixture over the lasagna. Take care that the top layer of lasagne is nicely covered with the topping mixture. Put the slices of tomatoes on top. Mix two spoons of rasped cheese with the breadcrumbs and spread that over it.
Bake at 180ºC for 30-45 minutes.

The topping is what makes this recipe really yummy. Cheese and crumbs make a really nice crust on top. And yoghurt mixture with eggs is a more light option than the creamy one.
