Ingredients

• 500 g Frozen spinach
• 200 g Feta cheese
• 150 g Ricotta cheese
• 2 pcs Eggs
• 12 sheets Phyllo dough sheets
• 100 g Butter (melted)
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 pc Onion (finely chopped)
• 3 tbsp Fresh dill (chopped)
• 3 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Thaw the frozen spinach and squeeze out all excess water. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the spinach, sautéed onion, crumbled feta cheese, ricotta cheese, chopped dill, chopped parsley, eggs, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined.

Step 5

Brush a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking dish with melted butter.

Step 6

Place one sheet of phyllo dough in the dish and brush it lightly with melted butter. Repeat with 6 more sheets, brushing each layer with melted butter as you go.

Step 7

Spread the spinach and feta mixture evenly over the layered phyllo sheets.

Step 8

Cover the filling with the remaining 5 sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each layer with melted butter, including the final top layer.

Step 9

Trim any excess phyllo dough from the edges, and tuck the edges down into the dish to seal the pie.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife, score the top layers of phyllo to create serving-sized squares or diamond shapes. Be careful not to cut all the way through to the bottom layer.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
