Recipe Steps
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with olive oil.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium. Add finely chopped onion and cook until translucent.
Gradually add fresh spinach leaves, stirring until bright green and tender, then drain excess liquid.
Combine spinach and onion in a bowl, stirring in crumbled feta, chopped dill, and beaten eggs. Season with salt and pepper.
Let the filling rest about 5 minutes.
Unroll phyllo sheets and cover with a damp towel. Brush the pan lightly with olive oil.
Layer phyllo in the pan, brushing each sheet with olive oil.
Spread the cooled spinach mixture evenly over the phyllo base.
Top with additional phyllo sheets, brushing each with olive oil. Trim edges as needed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes until golden brown. Let rest for 5 minutes before cutting.
