Ingredients

• 450 g fresh spinach
• 250 g ricotta cheese
• 100 g feta cheese
• 3 large eggs
• 50 g parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 small clove of garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 8 sheets phyllo dough sheets
• 70 g unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

Step 2

Wash the spinach thoroughly, then sauté it in a large skillet with the olive oil and minced garlic over medium heat until wilted (about 3-4 minutes). Transfer to a colander to drain excess liquid, then chop roughly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, crumbled feta cheese, grated Parmesan, 2 of the eggs, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well-blended.

Step 4

Add the cooked spinach to the cheese mixture. Stir until evenly combined.

Step 5

Lightly grease a 23 cm (9-inch) pie dish with butter or cooking spray. Lay one sheet of phyllo dough in the dish, letting the edges hang over. Brush it lightly with melted butter. Repeat with 4 more phyllo sheets, rotating each sheet slightly to cover the entire dish evenly.

Step 6

Spoon the spinach and cheese mixture into the phyllo-lined dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Cover the filling with the remaining 3 sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each layer lightly with butter and tucking the edges under to seal.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk the remaining egg and brush it over the top layer of phyllo for a glossy finish.

Step 9

Using a sharp knife, lightly score the top of the pie into 6 portions to make slicing easier later.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crisp.

Step 11

Allow the pie to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
