Ingredients

4 10 ounce pkg frozen, chopped spinach

1 1/4 lb domestic feta (less sodium)

2 bunches of scallions

1 8 ounce small curd cottage cheese

1 long box of filo dough

1 lb or more of butter

8 large eggs

Directions

350 oven

Thaw spinach and squeeze dry

Chop scallions in food processor, must be chopped fine

Cut feta into pieces and put through processor

In a large bowl mix scallions, feta cheese, cottage cheese, spinach and eggs until well blended

While you are doing this let filo come to room temperature, about 1/2 hour or so

Melt the butter

In a 13x9x2 1/2 roasting pan use a brush and generously butter the pan, bottom and sides

Take 6 to 7 sheets of filo and line bottom of pan making sure to cover completely by overlapping if necessary

Brush filo generously with butter

Spread first layer of spinach mixture and cover the dough

repeat with 5 layers of filo, butter and mixture until everything is used up.

Last layer should be about 7 sheets of dough, use broken pieces if necessary and butter dough generously.

All the butter should be used up during this process, it is the key to this dough

Take your brush and go around the pie and smooth all the rough edges

Place in preheated 350 oven and bake 1 1/2 hours or until dark golden brown

Cool about 2 hours before cutting

Make 10 slits in pie all the way to the bottom when cooling

Made spanakopita many years ago and not sure what happened to my recipe. Your recipe looks quite similar to what I had made back then. Will have to try it!
