Ingredients

  • 1 package of phyllo pastry (about 10 sheets)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh dill (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion until translucent, then add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the spinach has wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  4. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the crumbled feta cheese, sautéed spinach, and dill (if using).
  5. On a clean surface, lay out a sheet of phyllo pastry and brush it lightly with olive oil. Add another layer on top. Repeat until you have stacked about 5 sheets.
  6. Pour the spinach and feta mixture onto the layered pastry, spreading it evenly. Fold the edges over to form a parcel.
  7. Brush the top with olive oil and make a few slits for steam to escape.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
