Ingredients:  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 10 oz fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 package phyllo dough, thawed
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

Instructions: 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the feta, ricotta, beaten eggs, dill, nutmeg, and the cooked spinach mixture. Mix well.
  • Brush a 9x13 inch baking dish with melted butter. Layer half of the phyllo dough sheets in the dish, brushing each sheet with butter before adding the next.
  • Spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly over the phyllo dough. Layer the remaining phyllo sheets on top, again brushing each with melted butter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes:

For a more traditional flavor, you can add some chopped fresh parsley to the spinach mixture.
