Ingredients
  • 2 pounds baby spinach
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 8 ounces feta, crumbled
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, whisked
  • ½ - ¾ stick butter, melted
  • 10 sheets of phyllo dough, defrosted
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add spinach, working in batches, and blanch for 2-3 minutes, until wilted. Transfer to a colander and rinse under cold water. Place spinach in a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much liquid as possible, working in batches if needed. Transfer to bowl.
  3. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add onions and cook until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add cooked onions, feta, Parmesan, oregano, and salt to bowl with spinach. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon and add salt to taste. Stir in eggs.
  5. Brush the sides of a 9 inch springform pan with butter. Lay one sheet of phyllo dough to cover the bottom, with extra dough sticking out one side. Brush dough with butter. Lay a second sheet of phyllo dough on top, with extra dough sticking out in the opposite direction. Brush with butter, and repeat until you've used all 10 sheets of phyllo dough. Pour spinach mixture into the center and drape phyllo dough over the center, leaving the middle exposed. If phyllo is dry, brush with a bit more butter.
  6. Bake for 40-50 minutes, until dough is nicely browned. Let cool slightly before unmolding from springform. Cut into large wedges to serve.
