Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lb spinach, fresh, washed, drained and chopped
1/2 lb butter, melted
4 eggs
pinch parsley
1 lb cheese (1/2 feta & 1/2 cottage)
pinch salt
onion, minced for flavor
1 tsp dill, dried
1/2 lb Phylo, thawed in refrigerator
1 stick butter, melted

Steps:

  • 1. Mix first 8 ingredients together.
  • 2. Butter the bottom of 9" X 13" baking pan. Place 4 phylo leaves on bottom, buttering after each leave.
  • 3. Place half of the spinach mix on phylo leaves and then place 4 more leaves on top of spinach, buttering after each leaf. Place remainder of spinach and place one more phylo leaf on the very top. (For a thicker and flakier crust, add more phylo leaves on top.) Sprinkle with butter. Turn phylo at edges towards rim of the pan. Bake in moderately hot oven, 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
