Time 1h35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups chopped yellow onions (2 onions)
2 tablespoons good olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
3 (10-ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, defrosted
6 extra-large eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons grated nutmeg
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons plain dry bread crumbs
1/2 pound good feta, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup pignoli (pine nuts)
1/4 pound salted butter, melted
6 sheets phyllo dough, defrosted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a medium saute pan on medium heat, saute the onions with the olive oil until translucent and slightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the salt and pepper and allow to cool slightly. Squeeze out and discard as much of the liquid from the spinach as possible. Put the spinach into a bowl and then gently mix in the onions, eggs, nutmeg, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, feta, and pignoli. Butter an ovenproof, nonstick, 8-inch saute pan and line it with 6 stacked sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each with melted butter and letting the edges hang over the pan. Pour the spinach mixture into the middle of the phyllo and neatly fold the edges up and over the top to seal in the filling. Brush the top well with melted butter. Bake for 1 hour, until the top is golden brown and the filling is set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Serve at room temperature.

Boil the spinach and squeeze it to eliminate the water. Cut it with a sharp knife to facilitate. Mix it with the ricotta cheese. Add the egg. Add the grated cheese, salt and pepper. Amalgamate all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 180°C/356°F. Divide the dough in two. Create 2 circles of 30cm/11.8in each using a rolling pin. Place the 1st dough circle on baking paper. Spread some breadcrumbs on it. Place part of the stuffing in the center of the circle and the remaining creating another circle around. Cover it with the 2nd circle of dough. Wet the borders and attach one to another using a fork. Place a small bowl over the central stuffing and punch with a fork all around. Using a sharp knife cut the borders in 3cm/1.2in slices. Turn them upside 90°. Bake for 30 minutes in preheated oven at 180°C/356°F.
