Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter.

In a large bowl, combine the cooled spinach mixture with feta, green onions, dill, eggs, pepper, and nutmeg.

Unroll the phyllo dough and cover with a damp cloth to prevent drying; layer 8 sheets into the pan, brushing each layer generously with melted butter.

Spread the spinach and feta filling evenly over the bottom layers of phyllo.

Top with the remaining phyllo sheets, brushing each individual sheet with butter as you stack them.

Using a sharp knife, score the top layers of the pastry into squares or diamonds to allow steam to escape.
