Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 lb fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 package of phyllo dough (about 16 oz)
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
Instructions to Get It Right
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). You want it nice and warm, ready to embrace that deliciousness!
- In a skillet, heat a bit of olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic until they’re soft and fragrant. Add in that fresh spinach and cook until it’s wilted. Let it cool for a bit.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta, feta, beaten eggs, and parmesan cheese. Add the cooled spinach mix along with the oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir it all up until it’s well blended.
- Now, here’s where it gets good—grab your phyllo dough. Brush a baking dish with some melted butter, then lay down a sheet of phyllo. Brush it with some more butter before adding another sheet. Layer about 5-6 sheets like this for a nice base.
- Pour that spinach mixture over your phyllo base, then top it with more phyllo sheets (about 4-5), brushing each with butter in between. Don’t skimp on the butter—it’s what keeps it flaky!
- Tuck in the edges, give the top a final brush with melted butter, and then cut some slits on top for steam to escape. Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until it’s golden brown and crispy.
- Once it’s done, let it cool a little before slicing. Serve it up warm and watch it disappear at the table!
