Categories: Main dish, Pies, Vegetables
Yield: 10 Servings

2 lb Spinach, finely chopped
1 tb Salt
Dash salt & pepper
15 x Sheets Filo dough
1/2 lb Butter, melted

Wash spinach and chop very fine. (3 10 oz bags may be used in place of
loose spinach). Sprinkle spinach with 1 tb. salt and allow to stand 15
minutes. Squeeze spinach to remove excess moisture. (This is an important
step in making a good filling>) Combine with cheese, onion, eggs, olive
oil, salt and pepper to taste. Arrange 9 filo, which have been brushed with
butter, in a greased pan (10 x 15"), each filo having been brushed
separately. Cover with spinach filling. Cover with 6 filo overall,
brushing each with melted butter. Seal edges to retain filling. Brush top
with melted butter. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
