Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until translucent.
-
Add the spinach to the pan and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool.
-
In a large bowl, crumble the feta cheese. Add the cooled spinach mixture, beaten eggs, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
-
Grease a baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray. Place a sheet of phyllo dough in the dish, letting the edges hang over the sides. Brush the phyllo sheet with olive oil. Repeat this step with 4 more sheets, rotating each sheet slightly to cover the entire dish.
-
Pour the spinach and cheese mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly.
-
Layer the remaining phyllo sheets on top, brushing each sheet with olive oil. Fold the overhanging edges of the bottom sheets over the top sheets to seal the filling.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting into squares.
-
Serve warm and enjoy!
