Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until soft and translucent. Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Mix the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked spinach mixture, crumbled feta cheese, beaten eggs, chopped dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Spanakopita

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the phyllo dough and layer 6 sheets, brushing each with olive oil. Spread the spinach and feta filling along one edge of the dough. Roll the phyllo over the filling to form a log, tucking in the edges as you go. Repeat with remaining phyllo dough and filling.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Place the rolled spanakopita on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the top with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden and crispy. Let cool slightly before slicing.
