Greece - Spanakopita

I've tried lots of greek foods before so I wanted to find something new. This spinach pie looks delicious and I've been wanting to try spinach in a new way. I hope it tastes as good as it looks!

Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion
• 1 bunch green onions
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 pounds spinach
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 6 sheets phyllo dough
• 1/4 cup olive oil

Chop up the garlic, onion and green onions.

Saute them in 3 tablespoons of oil.

When they're soft add the spinach and stir in until the spinach has wilted. It'll take about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.

In a bowl lightly beat the two eggs and then add the cheeses. I also added some pepper.

Mix them up!

Add the spinach mixture and combine them.

Now grease a dish and add the filo pastry to it. One sheet at a time brushing with oil after every layer. 3 on the bottom.

Then add the filling.

Fold over the filo pastry and add 3 more sheets on top brushing with oil as you go until it's all covered up.

Bake in an oven at Gas mark 4 for 30-40 minutes.

Then serve and eat hot.

Mine was a bit runnier than I'd have liked but it tasted great! The cheeses had melted together to make a smooth, creamy filling which went really well with the pastry. In my opinion it tastes even more delicious than it looks ^_^
