  4. Let all the fillings cool completely, about 20 minutes once spread out. Preheat the oven to 210 °C. Roll two thirds of the pastry into a rectangle on baking paper. Layer the rice, spinach, salmon and dill, mushrooms and chives, then eggs, leaving a 2 cm clear border. Roll out the remaining pastry as a lid.
