INGREDIENTS:

  • 20 ounce frozen spinach, cooked and squeezed dry
  • 1 large onion
  • 3 tbsps olive oil
  • 1 lb Danish Feta cheese
  • 16 ounces ricotta cheese or well-drained dry cottage cheese
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp dry dill weed
  • 3/4 cup butter or margarine
  • 1 lb purchased filo dough
  • additional butter if using purchased dough

STEP BY STEP:

  1. Add onion, cut into 1-inch pieces, to work bowl. Pulse on/off until finely chopped
  2. In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat
  3. Add onions and sautˇ until limp and transparent. Do not let the onions brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Rinse Feta cheese under cold water to remove some of the salt. Pat dry with paper towel
  5. Add Feta, broken into 2-inch pieces, to work bowl and process with ricotta cheese to break Feta into small chunks
  6. Add eggs, pepper and dill. Process until blended. Remove to a large bowl
  7. Add spinach to work bowl. Pulse on/off until finely chopped, but not purˇed. Add spinach and onions to cheese mixture. Stir to mix well. Cover and refrigerate while making filo dough
  8. Preheat oven to 375. In a saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Butter an 9 x 13-inch pyrex baking dish
  9. Layer one half of the filo sheets on the bottom of the dish, brushing the top of each sheet with butter
  10. Since the sheets donÕt fit the size of the pan, overlap and alternate as necessary
  11. Spoon on all the spinach mixture and continue layering until all the sheets are used
  12. Bake, uncovered, 25-35 minutes or until golden
