Cheesy Spinach Phyllo Pie

The Cheesy Spinach Phyllo Pie is enriched with an irresistible combination of feta and mozzarella cheese. This savory delight is a celebration of Mediterranean flavors, where layers of delicate phyllo pastry cradle a lush filling of fresh spinach, enhanced by the tangy allure of feta and the gooey richness of mozzarella. Each bite is a symphony of textures, from the crisp, golden layers to the creamy, cheesy interior.

Equipment

  • 1 9x13 baking dish
  • 1 mixing bowl

Ingredients

  • 12 oz Spinach 12 oz Frozen Chopped (defrosted and drained well)
  • 24 oz Cottage Cheese
  • 6 Eggs
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 8 oz Feta Cheese (Crumbed)
  • 8 oz Mozzarella Cheese (Grated)
  • ½ Cup Vegetable Oil or Melted Butter (any fat will work as well)
  • 1 Roll Phyllo Dough (Defrosted)(See Picture)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • This is the phyllo dough I use. I can usually find in the Walmart frozen section next to the cool whip.
  • Make sure your phyllo dough and your spinach are defrosted. The spinach should be drained and all the moisture squeezed out. Unroll the phyllo dough you can keep a clean damp towel over the dough while you are working to prevent it from drying out before you finish assembling the pie.
  • In a mixing bowl combine eggs, cottage cheese, feta cheese, mozzarella cheese, salt, and spinach.
  • Mix together all the ingredients.
  • In a 9x13 baking dish brush the bottom of the pan with vegetable oil to prevent sticking and place 4 layers of the phyllo dough on the bottom. Brush the top of the phyllo dough with vegetable oil and place 3 heaping spoons of the filling.
  • Spread around the filling evenly. Repeat oiling and layering 4-5 times the phyllo dough and the filling.
  • Make sure you leave 3 layers of phyllo dough for the top. The top should be brushed with vegetable oil before putting it in the oven.
  • Place in the oven for 45 minutes at 350 degrees.
  • Let cool for 15-20 minutes before cutting. Enjoy!
