Yield: 10 servings

Prep Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:
11 ounces filo pastry, thawed
2 tablespoons butter
1 bag fresh spinach, washed and chopped
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
2 cups yogurt
½ container Tnuva Feta
4 slices Tnuva Edam Cheese, cut into small pieces
3 eggs
½ cup Tnuva Butter, melted

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400⁰F.
2. Saute the spinach in the 2 tablespoons of butter until soft. Season with the salt and pepper.
3. In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, Feta and Edam cheeses, eggs and melted butter (save a tiny bit of butter to brush the top of the pastry before baking).
4. Grease a 8” x 12” baking pan and transfer a piece of folded filo dough to the bottom.
5. Grasp another sheet of filo dough and scrunch it up into a ball like a piece of paper before throwing it into the waste basket. Place the scrunched up ball of dough in the corner of the pan on top of the folded piece of dough. Repeat this another 6 times and place the balls of dough all over to form a layer.
6. Spoon the sautéed spinach on top of the filo dough. Pour half of the cheese mixture on top.
7. Repeat step #5 and cover with the rest of the cheese mixture.
8. Cover with a straight, folded piece of filo as in the very beginning. Brush with the butter that you set aside.
9. Bake for 35 – 45 minutes until nicely golden.
