Cooking Instructions
- Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and sliced green onions, sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, then add spinach, stirring until just wilted.
- Transfer sautéed mixture to a bowl, allow cooling slightly. Add parsley, dill, mint, crumbled feta, beaten eggs, season with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
- Unroll phyllo dough, keeping it covered with a damp towel. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Use a pastry brush for applying melted butter.
- For casserole, brush a 9x13 inch baking dish with melted butter. Layer 8-10 sheets of phyllo, brushing each with butter. Spread spinach filling evenly, cover with additional phyllo, buttering each layer. Tuck edges and score the top. Bake for 40-50 minutes until golden.
- For Spanakopita rolls, take two sheets of phyllo, brush with butter, place filling at one end, roll tightly, seam-side down on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden.
- For bites, cut phyllo into strips, place filling, fold into triangles, brush tops with butter. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from oven, let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature, perhaps with Greek salad or tzatziki.

Notes
Use fresh ingredients for best flavor. Ensure phyllo dough is covered while working to avoid drying out.
