Ingredients:

Serving

10 oz frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry (or 6 cups fresh, steamed )
6 oz feta cheese, crumbled
1 small onion, minced
1 cup small curd cottage cheese
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
2 tsp dried dill
1/2 tsp salt
3 eggs, beaten
1 tbsp margarine or 1 tbsp butter, softened
1/2 margarine or 1/2 butter, melted
8 oz packages filo pastry, thawed

Directions:

Mix spinach, feta, cottage cheese, onion, parsley, dill and salt.
Add beaten agges and combine well.
Brush bottom and sides of a 9x13 baking dish with the softened butter.
Unfold the filo leaves and cut in half, crosswise.
Wrap and refreeze one half of the filo.
Cover the other half of the filo with a damp towel.
Gently separate one filo leaf from the stack.
Place it in the baking dish and fold over the edges to fit the bottom of the dish.
Brush the entire surface of the filo lightly with melted butter.
Repeat steps 7-9 until you have used half of the filo leaves.
Preheat the oven to 350.
Spread the spinach mixture evenly over the filo in the dish.
Layer the remaining filo over the spinach mixture in the same manner as the first half of the filo.
Cut through the top layers of the filo leaves with a sharp knife, making a diamond pattern (this will make it easier to cut the spanakopita later).
Cook uncovered until golden, about 35 minutes.
Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
