Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Filling

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

   Combine Ingredients

   In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach mixture, crumbled feta cheese, eggs, dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.

   Prepare Phyllo Dough

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lay out a sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush lightly with olive oil. Layer two more sheets on top, brushing each with olive oil.
