Ingredients

• 16 oz Frozen chopped spinach
• 8 oz Feta cheese
• 3 large Eggs
• 8 oz Ricotta cheese
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp Fresh dill
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
• 3 stalks Scallions (green onions)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 8 sheets Phyllo dough sheets
• 0.5 cup Butter, melted
• 1 tbsp Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or butter.

Step 2

Thaw the frozen spinach and thoroughly squeeze out excess water using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the spinach, crumbled feta cheese, ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, eggs, chopped dill, parsley, scallions, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated.

Step 4

On a clean work surface, layer one sheet of phyllo dough into the prepared baking dish. Brush it lightly with melted butter using a pastry brush. Repeat this process with 4 more sheets of phyllo, brushing each layer with butter.

Step 5

Spread the spinach mixture evenly over the phyllo layers in the baking dish.

Step 6

Layer another sheet of phyllo dough over the spinach mixture, brushing it with melted butter. Repeat with the remaining 3 sheets, ensuring each layer is buttered.

Step 7

Using a sharp knife, cut the assembled pie into desired serving sizes (squares or triangles) before baking. This prevents the phyllo from crumbling after baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crisp.

Step 9

Let the pie cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Nearly Nana S Spinach Feta Pie!
