Ingredients:

Serving

preheat oven to 375 degrees f
2 cups crumbled feta cheese
5 eggs
2 tbsp. flour
1 cup chopped onion
1 tsp basil
salt , pepper
2 cups (1 lb.) cottage or pot cheese
1/2 tsp oregano
2 lbs
clean, stem and chop the spinach. salt it lightly, and cook , adding no water , for five minutes.
cook the onions in butter , salting lightly. when soft, combine with remaining ingredients and spinach.

Directions:

To assemble:
Have on hand: a 1 lb package defrosted filo dough, and 1/2 lb melted butter.
Spread melted butter on a 9x13 baking pan.
Place a filo leaf in the pan; it will outsize the pan. Let the edges climb the sides and brush generously with butter. Keep layers of dough coming, one on top of another, brushing each with butter.
When you have a pile of 8 leaves, spread on half the filling. Continue with another stack of 8 or so leaves(don't skimp on the butter), then apply the remaining filling, spreading it to the edges.
Fold the excess filo down along the edges, making little tidy corners.
Pile as many more layers of filo and butter as your baking pan will accommodate.
Butter the top-most leaf.
Bake, uncovered, about 45 minutes - until golden brown.
