I seldom use a formal recipe.

I use spinach (2 pounds no stems cooked till wilted in EEVO then chopped,
eggs (usually 3 or 4), feta (whole 8oz package), chopped dill to taste,
parsley to taste and chopped scallions plus some lemon juice, salt and
pepper. Parmesan makes for a great addition.

Lay down 4-5 full layers of dough in a rectangular glass baking dish and
fold the edges over the sides. Add the spinach mixture then fold the dough
over the mixture. Now lay down 4 or 5 more layers of dough trimmed to fit
the pan. Then using a very sharp knife, cut it into six big squares. Then
bake.

Makes a fabulous dish.
