Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet, cooking until wilted and any excess liquid has evaporated, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the feta cheese, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, beaten eggs, dill, parsley, and the cooked spinach mixture. Season with salt and pepper, stirring until well combined.

  5. Brush a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil. Place a sheet of phyllo dough in the dish, allowing the excess to hang over the edges. Lightly brush the phyllo sheet with olive oil.

  6. Continue layering the phyllo sheets one at a time, brushing each sheet with olive oil as you go, until you have used half of the phyllo sheets.

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

  8. Layer the remaining phyllo sheets on top of the spinach and cheese mixture, brushing each sheet with olive oil.

  9. Using a sharp knife, score the top layer of phyllo into squares or diamonds, being careful not to cut all the way through.

  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crispy.

  11. Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy the flavors of Greece in every bite!
