SPANAKOPITA

    Spanakopita is a Greek spinach and cheese pie with phillo  dough.

   Delicious  pie, my family love it. I make with 3 kind of cheeses.

2 bags frozen spinach, thawed

2 large eggs ( I used 12 quail eggs)

2 cloves of garlic

2 cups Ricotta cheese

1 cup Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack cheese, shredded 

1 cup Feta cheese

1 onion, chopped

2 tablespoons chopped dill

2 tablespoons chopped parsley

pepper to taste

1 stick butter, melted or 1/2 cup olive oil

Phyllo dough sheets

Fry onion on oil. Drain spinach and squeeze out water.

Mix the spinach, eggs, butter, herbs and all 3 cheeses .

Spray with oil 9 x 13 casserole dish. Spread  half of the spinach mixture .

Cover with a few phyllo dough sheets, brushing each sheet with butter.

I used 6 sheets.

Spread rest of the spinach mixture on top of the phyllo dough  sheets.

Cover with phyllo dough sheets again and brush with butter.

Bake  45 -55 minutes in 350 F.

Cut into squares. Enjoy!!!
