Ingredients

• 500 g Fresh spinach
• 200 g Feta cheese
• 200 g Ricotta cheese
• 50 g Grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Ground nutmeg
• 10 sheets Phyllo pastry sheets
• 100 g Unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or a large pie dish with olive oil or butter.

Step 2

Wash the spinach thoroughly and dry it. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Add the spinach to the skillet and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let the spinach cool. Once cooled, squeeze out excess moisture and chop roughly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the feta cheese, ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, and the eggs. Whisk until evenly mixed.

Step 5

Add the chopped spinach, salt, pepper, and nutmeg to the cheese mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Unroll the phyllo pastry sheets and keep them covered with a damp kitchen towel to prevent drying out. Place one sheet into the greased baking dish and brush lightly with melted butter. Layer 5 sheets in total, making sure to brush each layer with melted butter.

Step 7

Spread the spinach and cheese filling evenly over the phyllo base.

Step 8

Top the filling with the remaining 5 sheets of phyllo pastry, brushing each sheet with melted butter as you layer. Tuck or trim the edges as needed.

Step 9

Using a sharp knife, score the top phyllo layers into desired serving sizes (squares or triangles). This will make cutting easier after baking.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and the filling is set.

Step 11

Remove the spinach pie from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
