Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare the vegetablesHeat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the spinach in batches, stirring until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
-
Make the fillingOnce the spinach mixture has cooled, squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. In a large bowl, combine the spinach mixture with dill, parsley, feta cheese, beaten eggs, ricotta cheese, oregano, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
-
Prepare the phyllo layersPreheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil. Lay one sheet of phyllo dough in the dish, allowing it to overhang the edges. Brush lightly with olive oil. Repeat with 4 more sheets, brushing each with oil, and rotating the position of each sheet slightly to create a star pattern with the overhanging edges.
-
Add the fillingSpread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly over the phyllo layers in the baking dish. Fold the overhanging phyllo edges over the filling, brushing with a little olive oil between each fold.
-
Add the top layersLayer the remaining 5 sheets of phyllo on top, brushing each sheet with olive oil. Tuck in any overhanging edges. Using a sharp knife, score the top layers into serving-sized squares, being careful not to cut all the way through to the filling.
-
Bake the pieBake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, until the phyllo is golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before cutting along the scored lines and serving.
