👨🍳 Fremgangsmåde
- 1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round or square baking dish.
- 2
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 8-10 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet in batches, cooking until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Squeeze out any excess moisture from the spinach.
- 4
In a large bowl, combine the wilted spinach mixture, crumbled feta cheese, beaten egg, chopped dill, chopped parsley, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
- 5
Lay one sheet of phyllo dough in the prepared baking dish, brushing it lightly with olive oil. Repeat with 5-7 more sheets, overlapping them slightly and brushing each with oil to create the bottom crust. Ensure the edges extend slightly up the sides of the dish.
- 6
Spread the spinach and feta filling evenly over the phyllo base.
- 7
Layer the remaining phyllo sheets on top of the filling, brushing each with olive oil. Fold the overhanging edges of the bottom layers over the top to seal.
- 8
Brush the top layer of phyllo with olive oil and an egg wash (if using). Score the top of the pie into serving portions.
- 9
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crispy.

Let the pie cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
💡 Professionelle Tips
- ✓Keep the phyllo dough covered with a damp cloth while working to prevent it from drying out.
- ✓Don't overfill the pie, as it can make the bottom crust soggy.
- ✓For a crispier crust, use more olive oil between the phyllo layers.
