Spinach And Feta Pie With Spinach Filo

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.

2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant.

3. Stir in the chopped spinach, dried oregano, and dried dill, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach is heated through.

4. Transfer the spinach mixture to a mixing bowl and let it cool slightly. Once cooled, add the crumbled feta cheese and season with salt and pepper. Mix well to combine.

5. Lay one sheet of filo pastry in the prepared baking dish, allowing the edges to hang over the sides. Brush lightly with melted butter.

6. Repeat with 4 more sheets of filo, brushing each layer with butter as you go.

7. Spread the spinach and feta mixture evenly over the layered filo pastry.

8. Layer the remaining 3 sheets of filo on top of the filling, brushing each one with melted butter.

9. Fold over the edges of the bottom filo sheets to form a neat border around the pie.

10. Brush the top of the pie with any remaining butter.

11. With a sharp knife, score the top of the pie into squares or triangles, being careful not to cut all the way through.

12. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crispy.

13. Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving, either warm or at room temperature.
