Description

A delightful blend of flaky phyllo dough filled with fresh spinach, creamy cheeses, and spices, perfect for any gathering.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (1 lb) phyllo dough, thawed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 pound fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of melted butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic; sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet. Cook until wilted, about 5 minutes.
  4. Remove the skillet from heat and let it cool slightly. In a large bowl, combine the cooked spinach mixture with feta, ricotta, Parmesan, eggs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Stir until thoroughly blended.
  5. Brush a 9-inch pie dish with melted butter. Lay one sheet of phyllo dough in the dish, allowing the edges to hang over the sides. Brush with more melted butter. Repeat with 5-6 more sheets.
  6. Pour the spinach and cheese mixture into the phyllo-lined pie dish.
  7. Gently fold the overhanging edges of the phyllo over the filling. Layer additional sheets on top, brushing each with melted butter. Aim for 8-10 layers total.
  8. Cut a few slits in the top layer of phyllo to allow steam to escape.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown and crispy.

Notes

Can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated before baking. Also freezes well for future meals.
