Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 2 pounds spinach, washed and chopped

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • ½ pound fresh mushrooms, sliced

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 2 cups ricotta cheese

  • 2 tablespoons dried basil

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 cup feta cheese

  • ¾ cup butter, melted

  • 1 (16 ounce) package phyllo dough

Directions

  1. Steam the spinach until just wilted.

  2. In a medium skillet heat the oil until hot and saute the onions and mushrooms. Stir together with the spinach.

  3. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs well. Stir in the ricotta, feta, and basil.

  4. Butter a deep dish pie pan. Place a sheet of phyllo on the bottom of the pan, and brush melted butter over the sheet. Repeat until there are 5 or 6 sheets in the pan. Spread the ricotta mixture over the phyllo. Layer 5 or 6 more sheets of filo brushed with butter on top of the cheese. Spread spinach mixture over the phyllo. Top the pie with 5 or 6 more sheets of phyllo brushed with butter. Trim dough to the edge of the pie dish.

  5. Bake at 375 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 1 hour, or until pie is golden brown.
