Ingredients

  • 1 lb Fresh baby spinach, chopped
  • 12 oz Feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 package Phyllo pastry sheets, thawed
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
  • 4 stalks Green onions, sliced
  • 0.25 cup Fresh dill, chopped
  • 2 count Large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 count Garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 pinch Nutmeg(optional)

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.
