Steps:
- Place oven rack in center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
- Preheat a small pan over medium to medium high heat. Add oil and onion and saute 5 minutes. Place onion in a bowl. Add chopped dry, defrosted spinach and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Add feta to the bowl and combine it with spinach. Add beaten egg and sour cream to the bowl and combine with cheese, spinach and onion.
- On a large work surface, place 1 sheet of phyllo. Paint half of the sheet with a little melted butter, paying extra attention to your perimeter. Fold sheet in half. Pile 1/4 of your spinach mixture into a log shape working 2 inches from bottom and each side. Tuck bottom up and fold both sides in, then roll and wrap upwards until you reach the edge of the dough sheet. Each pastry will resemble an egg roll. Paint the seam and the ends of the roll with butter and set roll seam side down on a cookie sheet. Repeat and make 4 rolls. Bake 15 minutes or until lightly golden all over and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Rinse and drain spinach. Put the spinach in a large pot with no additional water (the water clinging to the leaves from rinsing will be enough), and cover and steam it over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Drain the spinach in a colander. While it's cooling, heat the olive oil in a skillet. Add the red and green onions and sauté until tender - about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Squeeze the excess water out of the spinach leaves, chop them coarsely (if you have kitchen shears, you can cut up the spinach right in the colander), and put the spinach in a mixing bowl. Add the onions, ricotta cheese, eggs, herbs and spices and stir well. Mix in the feta cheese last so it will stay fairly chunky.
- Place in a greased 9x9 pan. Bake at 350°F for approximately 45 minutes (until firm). Cut into 8 pieces.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat the olive oil in a saute pan and add the scallions. Cook for 5 minutes or until soft. Meanwhile, squeeze most of the water out of the spinach and place it in a bowl. Add the scallions, dill, eggs, feta, salt, and pepper and mix together.
- Keep the phyllo dough sheets covered with a damp kitchen towel. Unfold 1 sheet of the phyllo dough. Brush the sheet with melted butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Repeat the process by laying a second sheet of phyllo dough over the first sheet, brush it with melted butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs until all 10 sheets have been used. Spoon 3/4 cup of the spinach mixture into a sausage shape along one edge of the phyllo dough. Roll it up. Brush the top with butter and score the roll into 1-inch rounds. Place it on an oiled baking sheet. Repeat until all the pastry and filling have been used.
- Place in the oven and bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Serve warm.
SPINACH PIE (SPANAKOPITA CASSEROLE)

CHEF JOEY'S SPANAKOPITA CASSEROLE (DAIRY FREE)
This casserole has a bit more in it then just spinach. All the greens are organic and came out of our garden so this should taste really fresh. I don't use dairy so I used Vegan Monterrey Jack cheese, but you can use whatever you kind you like. Make sure you totally cool the greens mixture before adding it to the cheese and eggs, you don't want to scramble the eggs!!

Steps:
- Remove the puff pastry from its package and let it thaw for at least 40 minutes.
- Cut up your potato and add enough water to cover. Boil until fork tender.
- In the mean time, melt the coconut oil in a large saute pan.
- Saute the onion for a few minutes, then add the shallots and garlic, saute until all are transparent.
- Add the cleaned spinach, kale and nettles. I found I had to add them a little at a time to the saute pan because there was so much.
- Add the chicken broth into the saute pan as you add the greens. When the greens mixture is totally cooked remove from the saute pan and set aside to cool. The chicken broth should have reduced down considerably. Don't use the liquid if there is any left, just discard it or use it in something else.
- Shred the cheese and add the eggs and combine well and set aside.
- Check the puff pastry to see if its thawed out enough to roll. If it is, take one of the sheets and roll it out to fit into a 9x9" casserole dish. Make sure you get all the air bubbles out from under it while placing it in the casserole dish.
- Combine the cooled greens/onion/garlic mixture in the cheese and egg mixture. You might want to stick this in the freezer for 5 minutes to help it cool faster. Don't forget its in there, you don't want it to freeze.
- Add a little more coconut oil to the saute pan and saute the mushrooms until they get soft, then add the liquid smoke. Mix it up a little more.
- Remove the greens from the freezer if they're still in there.
- Layer the mushrooms on the bottom of the casserole first. Then the greens/onion/garlic mixture. Then the potatoes that you cooked.
- Salt and pepper the potatoes.
- The 9 x 9" casserole dish should be full to the top. Fold the sides of the puff pastry over on top of the potatoes and add the top piece of puff pastry tucking the sides inches This will keep the juices inches You don't have to roll out the top piece of pastry, it should fit perfectly on the top of the casserole.
- Brush the top of the pastry with beaten egg if you wish. It makes the top look nice and golden brown.
- Bake in a 350'F oven for 40 minutes.
- When you take the casserole out the top will probably be puffed up. Just let it sit and cool on a wire rack, the top will drop down.
- Serve hot.
- Bon Appetit!
"SPANAKOPITA" INSPIRED BREAKFAST CASSEROLE
Spanakopita is probably my favorite food on earth, but it's a very labor-intensive dish, and is very high in calories, fat (including saturated fat from the rivers of butter it contains), and carbohydrates (one pound of phyllo dough!). This is how a poor bachelor Greek gets his home cooking on while keeping things light & healthy. This makes a hearty, protein-packed breakfast, satisfying lunch, or a quick & healthy main course for dinner served along side something like dolmades (stuffed grape leaves). By using eggs as the binding agent rather than cheese, you get a huge amount of good quality protein, and omitting the pastry crust cuts the calories dramatically - it also keeps in the fridge without getting soggy. If using fresh herbs / whole onion, adjust measurements and remove excess water by pressing spinach before adding eggs & baking.

Steps:
- In a wide, shallow saucepan, melt butter and add spinach.
- Cook spinach on medium heat until thawed and beginning to steam.
- Add dill weed and onion powder, continue to cook while moving around pan continuously until spinach has wilted and most of the moisture has either been absorbed by the herbs or evaporated.
- Once spinach has cooked, set aside to cool for a few minutes (you don't want the eggs to scramble when you add them).
- Grease a 9 x 13 glass baking dish with olive oil (either from a spray - be sure the ingredients are just extra virgin olive oil & propellant - or put a few drops in the pan and wipe around the inside with a paper towel).
- Beat eggs separately, then add to spinach mixture along with milk.
- Add to greased baking dish, and using a fork, gently stir / whisk around the spinach / egg mixture until evenly mixed & distributed, breaking up any clumps.
- Crumble feta cheese & sprinkle on top.
- Bake in 350 degree oven for 40 minutes, until eggs are set and cheese is melted & just starting to brown.
