Ingredients
- 30 oz frozen spinach thawed
- 1 large onion diced
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup fat free feta cheese
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
- 16 sheets filo dough
- 2 tsp olive oil or oil spray
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- pinch of nutmeg
Instructions
- Grease a 9” x 13” pan with oil or oil spray. Lay down 8 sheets of filo dough, brushing or spraying with oil in between each layer.
- Allow spinach to thaw and squeeze out water. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tsp. oil in a pan. Meanwhile, dice onion and sauté until translucent. Turn off the heat and mix in the spinach.
- Mix in the cottage cheese, feta cheese, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg into the spinach mixture.
- Spread mixture out in the pan, and cover with remaining filo dough. Spray with oil spray between each layer.
- (Optional) Pre-cut squares. Using a sharp knife, slice into 12 squares taking care not to slice the bottom filo dough. This will help keep the pastry on each square together.
- Bake 45 minutes at 375°F or until top is golden brown. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Cut into squares and serve.
