1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

12 sheets of phyllo pastry

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.

Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool.

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled spinach mixture, crumbled feta cheese, beaten eggs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well.

Brush a baking dish with melted butter.

Lay a sheet of phyllo pastry in the baking dish and brush it with melted butter. Repeat this process, layering 6 sheets of phyllo pastry, brushing each sheet with melted butter.

Spread the spinach and feta mixture evenly over the layered phyllo sheets.

Layer the remaining 6 sheets of phyllo pastry on top of the spinach mixture, brushing each sheet with melted butter.

Using a sharp knife, score the top layer of phyllo pastry into small squares or triangles.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the pastry turns golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Spanakopita is a delicious Greek dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or as an appetizer. The combination of the flaky phyllo pastry, savory spinach, and tangy feta cheese creates a mouthwatering treat that will surely impress your family and friends. Enjoy!
