Easy Greek Spinach Pie
    Perfect for a savory snack or light meal!

Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 bunch green onions, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 pounds fresh spinach, rinsed and chopped
• ½ cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
• ½ cup ricotta cheese
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 8 sheets phyllo dough
• ¼ cup olive oil (for brushing)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven: Set it to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch square baking pan with olive oil.
2. Cook the veggies: Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, green onions, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they’re soft and just beginning to brown. Stir in the spinach and parsley, and cook for another 2 minutes, just until the spinach wilts. Set this mixture aside to cool.
3. Mix the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the feta, ricotta, and beaten eggs. Once the spinach mixture has cooled, stir it into the cheese mixture until well combined.
4. Layer the phyllo dough: Lay one sheet of phyllo dough in the prepared baking pan and brush lightly with olive oil. Add another sheet on top, brush with olive oil, and repeat with two more sheets (total of 4). The sheets should hang over the sides of the pan a bit.
5. Add the filling: Spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly over the phyllo dough in the pan. Fold the overhanging dough edges over the filling and brush with oil.
6. Top with phyllo: Layer the remaining 4 sheets of phyllo dough on top, brushing each with olive oil. Tuck the edges of the dough into the pan to seal the filling.
7. Bake: Pop it into the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the phyllo is golden brown and crispy.
8. Serve: Cut into squares and enjoy while it's hot!
