Ingredients:
7-10 Phyllo (fillo) sheets, at room temperature
1/3-1/2 cup (80-120ml) Olive oil
2 pounds (900g) Spinach
1 Large onion, chopped
2-3 Spring onions, chopped
1/4 bunch Parsley, chopped
1/4 bunch Dill, chopped
12oz (340g) Feta cheese
12oz (340g) Ricotta cheese
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
1 teaspoon Dried oregano
Lemon zest from one lemon
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350F (180C).
2. Make the filling: in a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add chopped onion and sauté over medium heat until golden, add spinach and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the spinach is wilted.
3. Drain excess liquids and transfer to a large bowl. Crumble the feta cheese and ricotta cheese into the bowl, then add chopped spring onions, parsley, dill, lemon zest and spices. Mix until well combined and set aside.
4. Assembly: brush the bottom of a 9X13 inch (22X33cm) rectangle pan or 11-inch (28cm) round pan with olive oil. Take a sheet of pastry and place in the baking dish, that way so that some of the pastry hangs over the side. Brush with olive oil. Add 2-3 more sheets in the same manner, and brush them with olive oil between every layer.
5. Evenly spread the spinach and feta filling over the phyllo crust. Then, cover with 3 layers of phyllo, brushing with olive oil in between the layers. Fold the flaps or excess from the sides and brush the top layers with olive oil.
6. Using a very sharp knife cut the pie into rectangles or any other shape.
7. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving. Serve with fresh Greek salad:

The Creamiest Greek Feta Cheese Pie (Bechamel Tiropita)
Get the recipe here:
Ingredients
1/2 pound (#4) phyllo, at room temperature
4 oz (112g) butter, melted
sesame seeds for garnish
For the Filling:
4 tablespoons (50g) butter
4 tablespoons (50g) all-purpose flour
2 cups (500ml) milk
salt, to taste
freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
12 oz (350g) feta cheese
1 egg
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 °F, 180 °C. Grease the inside of a 9-inch round pie pan
Make the filling:
Add the butter to a saucepan and melt over medium-heat. Add the flour, whisk together and and cook over medium- heat for 1-2 minutes until toasted.
Add the milk, salt, and pepper, and whisk together. Cook until it comes to a boil and thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
Remove from the heat.
Place the egg into a bowl and whisk to break it up. Add some of the hot cream mixture to the egg and whisk together. Add the egg mixture back to the pan and crumble the feta cheese into the sauce. Mix together and taste the cream. Adjust the seasoning if needed.
Assemble the pie:
Unwrap the phyllo sheets and unroll them. Take half of the phyllo sheets and roll them back up, wrap in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator up to 4 days for another recipe.
Reserve 4 of the phyllo sheets for the top of the pie and layer the remaining sheets into the prepared pie making sure to drizzle each sheet with the melted butter.
Pour the cheese fillinf into the center and top with the remaining 4 phyllo sheets. Drizzle butter between the layers.
Gather all of the phyllo that is extended outside of the pan and tuck it into the sides. Score the top layers into 8 equal portions. Drizzle the remaining butter over the top and sides of the phyllo.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for about 45-55 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow the pie to set and cool to room temperature. About an hour or longer. Serve with olives. Kali Orexi!
Notes
Freezer Instructions: The cheese pie can be assembled and wrapped tightly with foil and then with plastic wrap as to not absorb any freezer odors. It will keep fresh in the freezer for 2 months.
Bake it frozen and covered with foil in a preheated 350 °F oven for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until golden brown.
