  • Preparation Time: 30 minutes
  • Cooking Time: 40 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • 500g fresh spinach, washed and roughly chopped
  • 200g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons dried dill
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 sheets of phyllo pastry
  • 100gย  unsalted butter, melted
  1. Preheat your oven to 180ยฐC (350ยฐF) and grease a baking dish with a little bit of olive oil.
  2. In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sautรฉ until they become translucent and fragrant.

  6. Lay one sheet of phyllo pastry in the greased baking dish and brush it lightly with melted butter. Repeat this process, layering 6 sheets of phyllo pastry in total, brushing each sheet with butter.
  7. Spread the spinach and feta mixture evenly over the phyllo pastry layers.
  8. Layer the remaining 6 sheets of phyllo pastry on top of the filling, brushing each sheet with melted butter.
  9. Tuck in any overhanging edges of phyllo pastry and brush the top with butter.
  10. Using a sharp knife, score the top layers of phyllo pastry into portions.
  11. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
  12. Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
