Spinach Pie Recipe

Prepare the Spinach

Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly, then chop it coarsely.

Cook the Vegetables

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper.

Mix the Filling

Remove the skillet from heat and let the spinach mixture cool slightly. In a bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the crumbled feta cheese and the spinach mixture, and mix well.

Prepare the Phyllo Dough

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking dish with olive oil. Lay one sheet of phyllo dough in the dish, brushing it with olive oil. Repeat this process for 5 sheets, layering them on top of each other.

Add the Filling

Spread the spinach and feta filling evenly over the phyllo layers.

Top with Phyllo

Layer the remaining phyllo sheets over the filling, brushing each sheet with olive oil. Ensure the top is well-brushed to achieve a golden color.

Bake the Pie

Bake the spinach pie in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crisp.

Cool and Serve

Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
