Greek Spinach Pie (Spanakopeta)

Directions

Wash spinach and chop finely. (3 10oz bags may be used in place of loose spinach). Sprinkle spinach with 1 tb. salt and allow to stand 15 minutes. Squeeze spinach to remove excess moisture. (This is an important step in making a good filling)

Combine with cheese, onion, eggs, olive oil, salt and pepper to taste.

Arrange 9 phyllo sheets which have been brushed with butter, in a greased pan (10 by 15 inch), each phyllo sheet having been brushed separately. Cover with spinach filling. Cover with 6 phyllo sheets overall, brushing each with melted butter.

Seal edges to retain filling. Brush top with melted butter. Bake at 350℉ (180℃) F for 45 minutes.
