# What You'll Need:
→ Filling
01 - 10 oz fresh spinach, washed and chopped
02 - 2 tbsp olive oil
03 - 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
04 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 7 oz feta cheese, crumbled
06 - 3.5 oz ricotta cheese
07 - 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
08 - 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tbsp dried dill)
09 - 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
10 - ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
11 - ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
12 - ¼ tsp salt
→ Pastry
13 - 12 sheets phyllo dough, thawed if frozen
14 - 7 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
15 - 2 tbsp olive oil
→ Topping
16 - 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
17 - 1 tbsp nigella seeds (optional)
# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté diced onion for 2 to 3 minutes until translucent, then add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
03 - Add chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted and excess moisture evaporates, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
04 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the spinach mixture with crumbled feta, ricotta, beaten eggs, dill, parsley, nutmeg, black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
05 - Keep phyllo dough covered with a damp towel. Unroll one sheet at a time, brush lightly with melted butter, and fold lengthwise into a 3-inch-wide strip.
06 - Place a heaping teaspoon of filling at the bottom of each strip. Fold the corner over to form a triangle, continuing to fold up the strip while maintaining the triangle shape until fully folded.
07 - Place the filled triangles closely together in a cluster or circular pattern on the prepared baking sheet without overlapping.
08 - Brush tops of triangles with remaining melted butter mixed with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Optionally, sprinkle sesame and nigella seeds.
09 - Bake for 22 to 25 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and crisp. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
