1 - 9oz. box frozen spinach

2 cups ricotta cheese
8 oz. feta cheese - crumbled
2 eggs
Dashes of fresh ground black pepper
Dash of nutmeg

Olive oil for drizzling
About 5 pats of butter - melted

Preheat Oven 350:
Heat a large frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil add the onion, spinach and parsley and sauté until the onion is clear and then set aside.
In a large bowl combine the ricotta cheese, feta cheese, dashes of black pepper, dash of nutmeg and the eggs and mix well. Slowly add the spinach mixture to the ricotta mixture stirring as you add it and mix well.
Butter a baking dish. In a small bowl place the melted butter plus the lemon juice.

I'm intimidated by phyllo dough...I know it's easy to use, but I've had a couple failures with it. Spanakopita is one of my favorite foods...this is so similar...so I know I would love it.

Oh Catherine my family this at Easter every year. My grandma used pepperoni in hers and a flaky pie type crust. My cousin carried the tradition on.
I hope I can try yours for Easter this year and start my own tradition!
