Ingredients Amounts
Cake  
Chopped frozen spinach, defrosted and squeezed - a child’s play time! 4 pkgs
Butter ½ stick
Vegetable oil 2 Tbsp.
Melted Butter in pot and a pastry brush 1 stick
Feta cheese (crumbled) 1 lb
Cottage cheese (large curd) 1 lb
Eggs (beaten) 6
Green onions (chopped) 2 bunches
Fresh parsley ½ bunch
#7 filo dough 1 package
   
Method

1. In butter and oil, sauté green onions till soft, add parsley and spinach and sauté 5 minutes or until dry.

2. Meanwhile, crumble feta and cottage cheese together, add beaten eggs and mix well.

3. Add spinach mixture to feta cheese mixture. Mix well.

4. In a 9X13 pan, layer filo. Spread one sheet at a time in pan. Brush each sheet with melted butter, fold in sides that overlap. (Joshua likes to eat the overlapping sides and adds more butter as he cuts the sheets to fit pan :-) He also will butter more sheets when done to eat as a snack, and sometimes cooks it as well)
Use approx 1/3 to ½ of the filo.

5. Spread mixture evenly on filo dough. Repeat the layers of filo dough and butter. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until
golden brown.

(For a quick dish, we make the mixture and buy the Apollo filo cups found in the frozen food section and fill the tiny cups and bake 15 minutes. Joshua loves to pop’em in his mouth for a fun snack!)
