Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Rinse and roughly chop 1 pound fresh spinach leaves. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the spinach without oil until wilted, about 3 minutes, then drain excess moisture and cool.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the cooled spinach with 8 ounces crumbled feta cheese, 4 chopped green onions, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 2 large beaten eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create the filling.
3. Step 3: Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush lightly with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Layer another sheet on top, brush again with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and repeat until you have 6 layered sheets.
4. Step 4: Spread half of the spinach and feta filling evenly over the phyllo stack. Fold the edges inward, then carefully roll or fold the phyllo into a square or rectangle. Repeat layering and filling with the remaining 6 phyllo sheets and stuffing, using remaining olive oil.
5. Step 5: Place the assembled pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with remaining olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the phyllo is crisp and golden brown. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
