Spanakopita

This recipe is infinitely adaptable - swap in different kinds of cheeses (or leave out mozzarella altogether) or substitute different greens. Spice it up with salt, pepper, and even nutmeg! See more ideas at BrokeAss!

To buy:

• filo dough - DEFROST in advance
• 4 packages frozen spinach
• 2 blocks feta cheese
• 1 ball low-moisture mozzarella cheese
• fresh dill
• 6 eggs

1. Brush big baking pan with vegetable oil
2. Melt 1/2 stick butter with 1/3? cup vegetable oil in microwave
3. Cook spinach on stove for at least 5 minutes, then drain and squeeze out moisture as much as possible
4. Mix crumbled feta, chopped dill, shredded mozzarella, eggs, salt, and pepper in a big bowl
5. Add spinach to mixture, mix well
6. Put a few (4? 6?) layers of filo dough on the bottom of the pan, brushing each one lightly with the butter/oil mixture
7. Spread about 1/3 of the spinach/cheese mixture on top, then repeat until you've used up (most?) of the filo dough and all of the spinach/cheese mixture
8. Cover with a piece of aluminum foil loosely (tented) and bake at 350 for about 45 minutes, then remove foil and bake a while longer (30min?)
9. It gets better the longer it sits out, so ideally an hour before serving
