8 servings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup green onion, chopped
  • 15 oz fresh spinach
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 cup feta cheese
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • ¼ cup fresh dill, chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 8 sheets phyllo dough

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • In a large pan over medium heat, cook the green onions and garlic in the olive oil until soft.
  • Add half the spinach, giving time for some to cook down before adding the rest.
  • Once the spinach has cooked down, transfer to a medium mixing bowl to cool slightly.
  • Add the feta, ricotta, egg, dill, parsley, salt and pepper, and mix until evenly spread.
  • Set in refrigerator.
  • Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough on a dry surface. Using a pastry brush, coat evenly with olive oil.
  • Add another sheet of phyllo dough on top of the oiled sheet and repeat the oiling process. Continue until there is a stack of 4 oiled sheets. Repeat process on a new stack with remaining 4 sheets.
  • Cut your dough into 4 sections using a pizza cutter.
  • With a single section, add a spoonful of your spinach mix and begin folding over your pastry, brushing each fold with oil. Repeat this process for the remaining sections.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Enjoy!
