- 6 scallions , finely diced
- 1 bunch Dill , finely chopped
- 1 bunch parsley , finely chopped
- 3 eggs , beaten
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 8 oz. feta
- 3 oz. ricotta
- 2 cups olive oil
- salt

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F / 180 C.

- Put spinach and onions in a large bowl, add dill and parsley and mix well by mashing with the hands or with a potato masher. The volume is reduced by half.

- Add one filo sheet. Brush with oil and place a second sheet and so on until the ninth.
- Spoon the spinach mixture over the entire surface.
- Place a sheet of phyllo dough, oiled lightly and proceed in the same way for all the remaining sheets.
- Fold the edges and oil the surface of the last sheet. Press on the pie. Draw portions with a knife at the surface.
- Bake for about thirty minutes, until golden brown.
- To get a crispy dough that may have softened the next day, bake the leftover pie for a few minutes.
