Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly oil a 9x9 inch square baking pan.
- Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onion, green onions and garlic, until soft and lightly browned. Stir in spinach and parsley, and continue to saute until spinach is limp, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- In a medium bowl, mix together eggs, ricotta, and feta. Stir in spinach mixture. Lay 1 sheet of phyllo dough in prepared baking pan, and brush lightly with olive oil. Lay another sheet of phyllo dough on top, brush with olive oil, and repeat process with two more sheets of phyllo. The sheets will overlap the pan. Spread spinach and cheese mixture into pan and fold overhanging dough over filling. Brush with oil, then layer remaining 4 sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each with oil. Tuck overhanging dough into pan to seal filling.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until golden brown. Cut into squares and serve while hot.

SPANAKOPITA: GREEK SPINACH PIE WITH FETA CHEESE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Wash and drain the chopped spinach very well. If using frozen spinach, thaw completely and squeeze out excess water. The spinach should be dry before you begin cooking.
- Heat 1/2 cup of the olive oil in a deep sauté pan or large Dutch oven. Sauté the onions and green onions until tender.
- Add the spinach, parsley, and dill , and cook for 5 to 10 minutes until the spinach is wilted and heated through.
- Add the nutmeg and season with salt and pepper. The spinach mixture should be on the dry side; if using frozen spinach, you will want to cook it until any excess moisture evaporates. Remove from the heat and set the spinach mixture aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the feta, eggs, and ricotta cheese.
- Add the cooled spinach mixture and mix until combined.
- Gather the ingredients.
- Combine the melted butter with the olive oil in a bowl. Using a pastry brush, lightly grease 2 (9 x 12-inch) rectangular pans.
- Carefully remove the phyllo roll from the plastic sleeve. Most packages come in 12 x 18-inch sheets when opened fully.
- Using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife, cut the sheets in half to make 2 stacks of 9 x 12-inch sheets. To prevent drying, cover 1 stack with wax paper and a damp paper towel while working with the other.
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Layer about 10 sheets of phyllo on the bottom of each pan, making sure to brush each sheet with the butter-olive oil mixture before layering the next.
- Add half of the spinach mixture to each pan in an even layer and press with a spatula to flatten.
- Layer another 10 phyllo sheets on top of the spinach mixture in each pan, making sure to brush each sheet well with the butter-olive oil mixture.
- Before baking, score the top layer of the phyllo (making sure not to puncture the filling) to enable easier cutting of pieces later. (You can place the pan in the freezer to harden the top layers and then use a serrated knife to make the cutting easier.)
- Bake until the pie turns a deep golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Let cool for a few minutes and then slice, serve, and enjoy.

Steps:
- Lightly oil a roasting tin (ours was about 25 x 35cm and 4cm deep) and line with baking parchment. Mix the eggs, cheeses, soured cream or crème fraîche, spinach and some seasoning together in a bowl.
- In another bowl, mix together the oil, yogurt and baking powder. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
- Cut the filo sheets in half so they are roughly the size of the tin. Put one filo sheet in the tin and evenly brush over 1-2 tbsp of the yogurt mixture using pastry brush. Top with another filo sheet, brush over more yogurt mixture and repeat until you've used half the filo.
- Pour over the cheese filling, then gently spread it to the edges using a spatula. Continue layering the rest of the filo sheets and yogurt mix. Spread any remaining yogurt mix over the top of the final filo sheet.
- Cut the pie into squares (either nine or 12, depending on how big you want the pieces to be). Will keep frozen for up to a month. Defrost completely in the fridge overnight before cooking. Top each square with a small knob of butter, then bake for 20 mins. Reduce the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and bake for another 25-30 mins until browned on top. Leave to cool slightly before serving warm. Will keep covered and chilled for up to two days.

Steps:
- Thoroughly beat together cream cheese, eggs and cheddar cheese.
- Stir in spinach, onion, parsley, salt & pepper.
- Press patty shells together with fingertips.
- Roll out patty shells, removing any seams, to a circle large enough to fit a 10" pie plate with about 1/2" of dough hanging over the edge of the dish. (For a thin crust, use 4 patty shells; a thicker one use 6 shells.).
- (I have also used a 11" x 7" rectangular baking dish with success)
- Place dough in pie plate. Flute edges with excess hanging over the plate (Thick fluting will give attractive, puffy edge.).
- Let dough rest at room temperature five minutes.
- Pour spinach filling into pie plate. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
- Bake in oven preheated to 425* about 25 minutes or until edges of filling is set and crust is brown or a knife inserted near center comes out clean.
- (For some reason, the baking time has varied, so check it and remove when it is 'set' and the crust is nicely browned.)
- Remove from oven. Let stand at room temperature about 10 minutes before cutting in wedges to serve.

- Stir together flour and salt in a medium bowl. Pour in 1/2 cup water and oil; stir together using a fork until shaggy pieces of dough form. Turn out dough and any remaining flour in bowl onto a clean work surface, and press into a shaggy ball. Knead until mostly smooth and elastic, 5 to 8 minutes. Dough should be slightly tacky; lightly dust with flour as needed if sticking to hands. Wrap in plastic wrap; let rest at room temperature at least 1 hour or up to 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 450°F with rack about 6 inches from heat source. Place spinach on a clean kitchen towel, and firmly squeeze over sink to remove as much liquid as possible; transfer spinach to a large bowl. Cook oil and garlic in a large skillet over medium-low, swirling skillet occasionally, until garlic is sizzling and light golden on 1 side, about 6 minutes. Add spinach; cook, pulling apart spinach with tongs, until coated in oil mixture and warmed through, about 1 to 2 minutes. Return spinach mixture to large bowl. Remove and discard garlic. Stir Parmigiano-Reggiano, ricotta, eggs, and salt into spinach mixture until thoroughly combined; set aside.
