• Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2. Mix the ingredients:

• In a bowl, combine the spinach mixture, crumbled feta, chopped dill, and beaten eggs.
• Season with salt & pepper (keep in mind feta is salty).

3. Assemble the pie:

• Brush a baking dish with melted butter or olive oil.
• Layer 3-4 phyllo sheets, brushing each one lightly with butter.
• Spread the spinach filling evenly over the base.

• Score the top lightly with a knife.

4. Place in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

5. Let cool for 5-10 minutes, then cut into squares and enjoy warm!
