Spinach and Feta Pie (Spanakopita)

A Greek Dish...One of Our Our Favorites

This is a simple and delicious dish that can be served with a salad for lunch or dinner!

Pam Spray
2 Sheets Puff Pastry (Thawed at room temperature)
1 Box Frozen Spinach (Thawed with all liquids squeezed)
3 Eggs
1 Cup Cottage Cheese
Feta Cheese (Crumbled)
Salt / Pepper
1/4 Teaspoon Dried Dill

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Spray a 9x13 pan with Pam Spray
Gently unfold 1 puff pastry sheet and gently place it in the bottom of baking pan
In a medium size bowl mix the spinach, eggs,cottage cheese, feta, salt, pepper and dill
Spread mixture in pan
Top with second sheet of puff pastry
Tuck the corners of the puff pastry
Place pie in oven and bake 35 minutes or until golden brown

***Make sure all liquid is squeezed from the spinach, it should be as dry to the touch as possible, this will ensure your pie will not be watery or soggy.
