I always get requests for this recipe. It comes from the book The Pleasure of Your Processor, with a few minor changes. Really delicious.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h

Yield 25 squares

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb phyllo dough
3/4 cup melted butter
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach
1 onion, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 lb dry curd cottage cheese or 1/2 lb ricotta cheese
1 -2 egg
salt
pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Steps:

  • Place half the filo dough in a pan.
  • Pour about 1/4 cup margarine on top.
  • Filling: Saute onions in melted butter until golden (about 5 to 10 minutes).
  • Cook spinach according to package directions.
  • Drain well.
  • Squeeze out all moisture from spinach.
  • Process spinach until finely chopped, about 8 to 10 seconds.
  • Add onions and remaining ingredients and process just until mixed.
  • (Add second egg only if mixture seems dry).
  • Pour filling over first half of filo dough and cover with remaining filo dough.
  • Pour remaining butter on top of filo dough (add more if necessary), and then cut in squares so that, while cooking the butter will penetrate in between the layers of dough.
  • Bake in a 300 degree oven for 30 minutes, until top is golden brown.

These were a disaster! The filo dough was too thick and the filling was bland.

I'm not a huge fan of filo dough, but these were surprisingly good. I'll definitely be making them again.

These were easy to make and they looked beautiful, but they were a bit too crispy for my taste.

I found these to be a bit bland. I think they would have been better with a more flavorful filling.
