Equipment

  • Lightly damp towel, parchment paper, baking sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 20 ounces frozen chopped spinach
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 medium onions finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons dill weed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 ounces crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 16 ounce package #4 phyllo pastry thawed
  • 1/2 cup melted butter cooled

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Thaw spinach, then drain and squeeze dry.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet, then saute onions with dill weed, salt and black pepper until onions are translucent.
  • Add spinach to pan and cook for about five minutes until somewhat tender.
  • Cool spinach mixture down, then stir in the feta and Parmesan cheeses and eggs, mixing well.
  • Unroll the thawed phyllo and divide pastry into two sections. You will be making two rolls, half the phyllo for each one.
  • Take two sheets of phyllo and brush gently with butter using a pastry brush. Keep the remaining phyllo covered with the lightly damp towel as you do.
  • Continue with phyllo, two sheets at a time, stacking the next sheets on top of the others, until half the pastry is used. Remember to keep you phyllo covered with the towel.
  • Place half the filling on the sheets, tucking the ends and rolling up like a cigar.
  • Place seam side down on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Brush outside lightly with butter.
  • Continue with the remaining pastry to make the second roll.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
  • Cool slightly then cut into pieces using a serrated bread knife for minimal breakage.
