Spinach Pie

a drizzle of olive oil

1 medium shallot, minced

1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach - thawed, drained and squeezed dry 

1/2 tsp chopped fresh dill 

1 tablespoons all-purpose flour 

1 (4 ounce) packages feta cheese, crumbled 

2 eggs, lightly beaten 

salt and pepper to taste 

1 (16 ounce) package phyllo dough 

1/2 stick butter, melted  

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).  Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Slowly cook and stir onions until softened.Mix in spinach, dill and flour.  Cook approximately 10 minutes, or until most of the moisture has been absorbed.  Remove from heat.  Mix in feta cheese, eggs, salt and pepper.  Lay phyllo dough flat and brush with butter. Place a small amount of spinach mixture onto each piece of dough.  Fold phyllo into triangles around the mixture. Brush with butter.  Place filled phyllo dough triangles on a large baking sheet.  Bake in the preheated oven 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until golden brown. Or if your philo dough had a failure like mine, you can roll it out with a rolling pin as best as you can, and smash it all into a pie tin. Brush top crust only with butter. (actually, this probably saves you a TON of calories).
