  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method

   2      pounds        spinach -- washed, chopped
     1/4  cup           scallions -- chopped
     1/4  cup           fresh parsley -- chopped
     1/4  cup           fresh dill -- chopped
   1      teaspoon      salt
     1/4  cup           olive oil
     1/2  cup           onions -- chopped
   1      pound         feta cheese -- crumbled
     1/2  cup           Parmesan cheese -- grated
   2      whole         eggs -- beaten
     1/2  cup           butter -- melted
  14      whole         filo dough sheet

Shred spinach and mix with scallions, parsley, dill, and salt. Let stand 10 minu
tes. Squeeze out moisture by the handful. Heat olive oil in a large skillet and 
saute onions until transparent, about 5 minutes. Stir in spinach and cheeses. Re
move from heat and cool, stirring occasionally, to room temperature. Beat eggs i
n with a wooden spoon. 

Brush bottom and sides of a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish with melted butter. Line
 the dish with a sheet of filo, pressing the edges of pastry firmly into the cor
ners, and against the sides of the dish. Brush surface of filo with melted butte
r, spreading it all the way to the outside edges and lay another sheet of filo o
n top. Repeat until you have used 7 layers of filo in all.

Spread spinach mixture evenly over last layer of filo and smooth it into the cor
ners. Place another sheet of filo on top, brush with butter and repeat, layering
 with remaining filo. Turn edges over to form a crust. Brush the top with the re
maining butter. Bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour or until the pastry is crisp and 
delicately browned. Cut into squares and serve hot.
