Instructions

  1. Step 1: Thaw 10 oz frozen spinach, squeeze out excess water, and place in a bowl. Add 1 cup crumbled feta, 2 tbsp fresh dill, 2 tbsp fresh parsley, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix until combined.

  3. Step 3: Spread the spinach-feta mixture evenly over the phyllo base. Top with remaining 5 phyllo sheets, brushing each with 1 tbsp melted butter.
  4. Step 4: Cut the pie into 9 squares and transfer to a baking sheet. Brush the top with remaining 1 tbsp melted butter.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the phyllo is golden and crisp and the filling is heated through.
