Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a skillet over medium heat, cook 10 oz fresh spinach until wilted (about 3 minutes), then transfer to a colander to drain excess liquid; chop finely once cooled.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, combine chopped spinach, 4 oz crumbled feta cheese, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup fresh dill (chopped), and 1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped); mix until well combined.
  3. Step 3: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tbsp olive oil.
  4. Step 4: Place one sheet of phyllo on a work surface and brush lightly with 1 tbsp melted butter. Layer 9 more sheets, brushing each with butter, allowing the top sheet to overhang the dish edges.
  5. Step 5: Spread the spinach-feta mixture evenly over the phyllo, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  6. Step 6: Fold the overhanging phyllo edges over the filling, then roll the phyllo from one long side to the other, tucking in ends to form a tight roll.
  7. Step 7: Place seam-side down in the baking dish, brush top with remaining 1/2 cup melted butter, and bake 35-40 minutes until golden and crisp.
