  Saute the onions, scallions and garlic in olive oil
  until soft but not brown. Stir in spinach, cover and
  cook for 2-3 minutes or until completely wilted. Add
  the dill, parsley and mint and continue to cook
  uncovered for another 6-8 minutes or until the liquid
  has evaporated. Transfer spinach to a bowl and stir in
  the buttermilk. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  Cool to room temperature and stir in the eggs and feta
  cheese.
  
  Lightly paint the bottom and sides of a 12 x 7-inch
  baking dish with melted butter. Line the dish with a
  sheet of filo pressing the edges firmly into the
  corners and up the sides. Brush with a tablespoon or
  two of butter and lay another sheet of filo on top.
  Paint with butter and continue layering in this way
  until youve used 8 layers of filo.
  
  Spread the spinach mixture evenly over filo layers.
  Lay a sheet of filo on top and paint with butter and
  continue layering with remaining sheets. Tuck edges of
  last filo layer in attractively and paint with butter.
  Bake in a pre-heated 300 degree oven for 55-60 minutes
  or until filo is crisp and golden brown. Serve cut
  into squares hot or at room temperature.
