1-First Step: Gather and Prep Your Ingredients Start by pulling together all the items on your list to make things smooth it’s like setting the stage for a great show! Begin with thawing and draining the frozen chopped spinach thoroughly by squeezing out the excess liquid, which prevents a soggy pie and keeps the focus on that flaky texture. While you’re at it, finely chop the flat-leaf parsley, yellow onion, and mince the garlic cloves, then mix them in a bowl with the eggs, quality crumbled feta cheese, dried dill weed, and freshly ground black pepper for your filling base.

2-Second Step: Preheat and Prepare the Baking Dish Turn your oven on to 325 degrees Fahrenheit so it’s ready when you are this step ensures even baking for that perfect golden finish. Grab your baking dish and brush it generously with extra virgin olive oil to create a non-stick surface that helps the phyllo crisp up nicely. Keep your phyllo pastry sheets pliable by placing them between slightly damp kitchen cloths to avoid any tearing mishaps.

3-Third Step: Layer the Phyllo for the Base Now, lay two phyllo sheets in the oiled baking dish, brushing each one lightly with extra virgin olive oil for that irresistible crunch we’re using about two-thirds of the sheets here. Repeat this layering process a few times, making sure each sheet gets a good olive oil coat to build those lovely layers that make spinach pie so special. If you notice small tears, don’t worry; they won’t ruin the final product and add to the homemade charm.

4-Fourth Step: Add and Spread the Filling Spoon the spinach mixture evenly over the layered phyllo, spreading it out so every bite is packed with flavor think of it as the heart of your pie! Make sure the filling covers the base uniformly to avoid any dry spots, and if you’re adapting for dietary preferences, like using a vegan substitute, swap in your egg alternative here for a seamless change. This step takes just a minute or two but sets the stage for a balanced, delicious pie.

5-Fifth Step: Top with Remaining Phyllo and Bake Layer the rest of the phyllo sheets on top of the filling, brushing each with olive oil as you go to seal in all that goodness. Fold any excess dough over the edges for a neat look, then cut partway into squares before sliding it into the oven bake for about one hour until it’s golden and crisp, keeping an eye on it for that perfect doneness. Once done, let it cool slightly so the flavors settle, then finish cutting into squares for serving, which makes it easy to share with your loved ones.
