Greek Vegetarian Spanakopita

Ingredients

• 1 package grain phyllo dough
• 16 oz spinach
• 8 oz feta cheese
• 1 cup olive oil
• 4 stalks green onions
• 0.25 cup dill
• 3 large eggs
• 2 cloves garlic
• 0.5 tsp nutmeg
• 0.25 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly oil a baking dish.
2. 2Sauté chopped garlic and green onions in a tablespoon of olive oil until soft.
3. 3Add fresh spinach to the pan and cook until wilted. Let cool and then squeeze out excess moisture.
4. 4In a large bowl, mix the spinach with crumbled feta cheese, chopped dill, nutmeg, and black pepper.
5. 5Beat the eggs and then fold them into the spinach mixture until well combined.
6. 6Carefully unroll the phyllo dough. Cover the sheets with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.
7. 7Brush a sheet of phyllo with olive oil, then place another sheet on top and brush it with oil. Repeat this process until you have a stack of 4 oiled sheets.
8. 8Place the spinach mixture on the bottom edge of the stacked phyllo sheets, leaving space around the edges.
9. 9Roll the phyllo and spinach into a log, then coil the log into a spiral shape. Place it in the prepared baking dish.
10. 10Brush the top of the spanakopita with more olive oil.
11. 11Bake in the preheated oven until the phyllo is golden and crisp, about 40 minutes.
12. 12Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
