Category: Appetizers served hot/warm
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

5 bunches fresh spinach, washed, stems
removed, and finely chopped (can use 16oz
chopped frozen spinach, thawed and
squeezed dry)
4 eggs, slightly beaten
8 oz feta cheese, crumbled
4 oz parmesan cheese, grated
1 Tbsp butter
1 onion, peeled and chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 clove garlic
1 lb mushrooms, diced
1 tsp oregano
1 stick butter, melted
1 pkg phyllo dough, thawed

Grease a lasagna pan and preheat oven to 350. Saute onions, garlic and mushrooms in 1 Tbsp butter until liquid has been reduced. Mix spinach with eggs, cheeses, sauteed vegetables and oregano. Very quickly brush a sheet of phyllo dough with melted butter and place in lasagna pan; repeat until you have a total of 10 sheets of dough in the pan. Fill pan with spinach mixture, spreading evenly over the dough, then cover with 7 more sheets of phyllo, each also brushed with melted butter. (if sheets are larger than pan, fold under at the edges). Bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes until pastry is golden. Let stand a few minutes before cutting.
