Ingredients:
10 oz fresh baby spinach, tough stems removed - roughly chopped
1 tbsp butter
1 small-medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
2 eggs + 2 egg whites (large)
2 tbsp flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1/2 cup dill, chopped
1/4 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp coarse salt
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
8 sheets phyllo dough, thawed
cooking spray
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375F. Heat butter in large skillet over low-medium heat. Add onion & cook until tender & beginning to caramelize. Add garlic and cook for about a minute. Add spinach and cook until wilted & bright green, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a colander to cool & drain.
2. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, eggs & egg whites, parsley, dill, Parmesan, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir in cooled spinach mixture.
3. Lightly coat a 9-inch (Pyrex) pie plate with cooking spray. Place one sheet of dough in plate, spray and repeat with remaining 7 sheets spraying between each layer. Trim edges with scissors, leaving a slight overhang. Spoon filling into the dish, spreading evenly. Spray outer edge of dough. Bake until golden brown & filling is set, about one hour. Cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting.
