• 1 package Phyllo pastry sheets, thawed
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 4 stalks Green onions, sliced

• 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

1. 1

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

2. 2

   Sauté the diced onion and garlic in olive oil until soft, then add the spinach in batches until wilted; squeeze out all excess liquid thoroughly.

3. 3

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

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

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

6. 6

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

7. 7

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

8. 8

   Bake for 40-45 minutes until the pastry is deep golden brown and crisp, then let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
